Sinéad Willox Album Launch: Seoda Uladh

Folk singer Sinéad Willox brings her debut album Seoda Uladh, meaning Jewels of Ulster, to the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh on Saturday, 12 September 2026. The record reimagines lesser-known traditional songs from across the nine counties of Ulster, one song per county plus an extra track “for good luck”, sung in both Irish and English. It is a homecoming date of sorts: the album includes “Sweet Omagh Town”, making the Strule a fitting place to launch it.
Seoda Uladh was three years in the making, released in November 2025 after Willox worked her way through archives and older singers’ repertoires to find songs that had fallen out of circulation. The album features a strong cast of Irish traditional musicians, including Seán Óg Graham, Seamie O’Dowd, Cathal Hayden and David Bell, alongside guest vocalists Daniel Donnelly, Karen Kirby, Helen Cassidy and Eva McRory. For the Omagh launch, expect Willox to perform songs from the record with a band, talk through the stories behind individual tracks such as “Ballyronan Maid”, “The County Down” and “Cavan Girl”, and mark the release of a genuinely local project in the county town where several of the songs were sourced. It is a smaller, more intimate evening than the venue’s touring tribute shows, built around one artist’s own material rather than a greatest-hits set.
The Strule Arts Centre is on Townhall Square in Omagh town centre, within walking distance of the main bus stops and several pay car parks. Translink bus services connect Omagh to Belfast, Derry and towns across Tyrone and Fermanagh.
An album built around Ulster’s counties and townlands is a good match for a night in Omagh itself. There is more to see and do in Omagh, and further afield across Co. Tyrone.
