Séamus agus Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta
Rugadh agus tógadh Séamus agus Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta i gceantar Chonamara, áit a bhfuil cliú agus cáil uirthi mar gheall ar a saibhreas ceoil, fonnadóireacht, cultúr agus teanga. Chuaigh siad go mór i bhfeidhm ar an lucht féachana ar The Late Late Show, áit ar chas siad leagan draochtúil den chaoineadh Anach Cuain. Bhí an clár ag teacht go mór le meon na tíre agus roinn na mílte ar fud an domhain an físeán. Tá aitheantas bainte amach ag an mbeirt mar gheall ar a gcuid ámhranaíochta ar an sean-nós (amhránaíocht as Gaeilge a chantar gan tionlacan den chuid is mó) agus an cóiriú uaithúil a dhéanann siad ar amhráin as Gaeilge agus as Béarla araon.
