Emcee Éamonn de Cógáin

Éamonn de Cógáin is widely regarded as Ireland’s most energetic MC. Descended from a long line of storytellers and entertainers Éamonn is as comfortable threading the boards as an actor as he is spinning yarns down the back of the bus. Having travelled every backroad and boreen from Malin Head to Mizen Head he has an intimate knowledge of the hidden gems of the Emerald Isle where he has called Céilís far and wide and has since developed a reputation as The Céilí King stateside. He is a staple at many of the summer Irish festivals from Minnesota to Mississippi. Éamonn has taught thousands the basic steps and movements of Irish Ceili Dancing. A native Irish (Gaelic) speaker, he is also fluent in Blarney, having kissed the stone, and with his infectious transfer of enthusiasm, smooth brogue and easy going nature he will have you up singing and dancing the night away unbeknownst to yourself.”
