Seán Ó Sé
Seán Ó Sé (born 1936) is an Irish tenor singer and retired schoolteacher from County Cork, who sings folk and traditional songs in Irish and English. He was born in Ballylickey and educated at Coláiste Íosagáin, Ballyvourney and St Patrick's College, Dublin before working as a national school teacher in counties Wicklow and Cork, finishing his career as principal of St Mary's on the Hill in Knocknaheeny in Cork city. He came to prominence as a singer in the 1960s with Seán Ó Riada's group Ceoltóirí Chualann. He later toured internationally with Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. Ó Sé is most associated with the comic song "An Poc ar Buile" ("the angry goat"), of which a version written in 1940 by Dónall Ó Mulláin of Cúil Aodha became a surprise hit single in 1962 when Ó Sé recorded it for Gael Linn. From this song is his nickname "the Pucker" or "An Pocar"; the latter used as the title of a 2013 biography broadcast on TG4.
