O’Neill’s October Seis

Joe O’Neill was one of Ireland’s leading musicians and bandleaders, playing across the country for decades. In addition to enthralling dancers, Joe was a noted teacher in Athy, Co. Kildare, training generations of musicians.

Among those musicians Joe trained were those in the large family he and his wife May raised. After Joe passed in 1989, the family continued to play music whenever they got together even though they’re spread around the globe.

The O’Neill family decided to put their music to use helping others and the October Seis was born in 2005. Held in October – the month of Joe’s birth – to honor Joe’s memory by entertaining people and raising money for  worthy causes. Held in a different city each year where an O’Neill family member or friend lives, funds from the     October Seis benefit local charities and organizations.

The Emerald Isle Immigration Center has been chosen as the beneficiary of the October Seis 2015 and we thank Joe O’Neill and the succeeding generations of the O’Neill family for this honor.
