Seán Ó Sé was born on South Terrace in Cork City and grew up in Ballylickey near Bantry. “I am deeply saddened at the passing of Seán Ó Sé,” Mr Martin said. “His friendship with the late Seán Ó Riada was a unique one. His career followed a recording of An Poc ar Buile, a song with which he became forever associated after recording it for Gael Linn in 1962. That was the first time I ever heard An Poc ar Buile.
