Hollywood A-Lister pays tribute to late Irish musician and friend

And he was “shocked” to learn that his friend, Irish musician Séamus Ó Beaglaoich had sadly passed away.

“That lilting tenor he had. There’s something really moving about a gentle giant like that, when you hear the sweetness of the voice of a man who’s so strong and such a formidable presence. An amazing sense of humour and a virtuosic player. To me the big loss – of course for his family and friends and everything personally it’s a big loss – but the loss to the music world is hard to calculate right,” he told RTÉ’s Drivetime.

John C Reilly was first introduced to Séamus Ó Beaglaoich a number of years ago by a mutual friend. He explained that they bonded immediately and they went on to collaborate together on the Téada cover of Eileen Óg which was released in 2021.“We had a couple of amazing nights in pubs together where I would make these videos of him singing the songs and Irish because they’re just haunting melodies,” John added.
