Eamon is a very good pal of mine. He's one of the most honest, dependable, stand up people I know. Funny, compassionate and always rocking a 10/10 fit. Beoga, the Irish trad band, has been his baby for decades, along with Niamh, Séan Óg, Damian and Liam. Eamon is a founding member of the charitable coalition, Irish Artists for Palestine, which began not long after Oct 7th. Leaping into action, hosting gigs and fundraisers across Ireland. I witnessed him pouring his heart, soul and every penny into raising awareness and vital funds for Palestine.
When Ed Sheeran made his decision to exclude Macklemore from his tour, my first thoughts went to Beoga. They were Ed's touring band, accompanying him around the world, locked into a comfortable contract.
Eamon considers Ed a friend. They have collaborated on tracks for over 10 years. Beoga were a small enough Irish trad band, who were now playing massive stadiums across the world. They were suddenly thrown into the spotlight and forced to make a very public and difficult decision. Thankfully, they made the right one. But it can't have been easy.
