Felipa	2025 Obit: Meaití Jo Shéamuis Ó Fátharta- musician (6)	Obit: Meaití Jo Shéamuis Ó Fátharta - musician	04 Jan 25
I just got a shock as I learned of the death of Irish singer and musician (flute and uileann pipes) Meaití Jo Shéamuis Ó Fátharta of Conamara. He was a lovely cordial man, as well as being a fine musician. He was a radio presenter and collector as well; I just read that in 2021 Meaití (Matty) donated his collected resources to the Irish Traditional Music Archives. Meaití Jo Shémais won the celebrated Corn uí Riada for sean-nós singers in 2001. https://rip.ie/death-notice/condolences/meaiti-jo-sheamuis-o-fatharta-galway-inverin-580477 an introduction Meaití Jo Shéamuis wrote mainly in English: https://irishnashville.wordpress.com/tag/meaiti-jo-sheamuis-o-fatharta/ singing An Spailpín Fanach (youtube) Bóithríní an Locháin I didn't find videos of Meaití Jo Shéamais playing music, only of him singing and lilting.
