Beoga
Beoga ([ˈbʲoː.ɡə], B'YOH-ga, Irish: 'vivid, lively') are an Irish folk band. They were formed in County Kerry in 2002 at the All-Ireland Fleadh, although the original four members of the band hail from County Antrim and County Londonderry in Northern Ireland. The line-up features Damian McKee on accordion, multi-instrumentalist Seán Óg Graham, pianist Liam Bradley and Eamon Murray on bodhrán. Niamh Dunne, from County Limerick, joined in 2005, on vocals and fiddle.
In 2016, Beoga collaborated with Ed Sheeran on the songs "Galway Girl" and "Nancy Mulligan". They subsequently played with Sheeran many times, including during Sheeran's headlining set at Glastonbury Festival. In 2026, Beoga dropped out of Sheeran's Loop Tour in protest after venue owners pressured support act Macklemore, to leave the tour due to his pro-Palestine commentary.
