Full circle moment for Donegal Fleadh star (6) set to travel in style to buy suit of dreams
The little entertainer has raised enough money to buy the dapper suit he had his heart set on at Gerard Anthony Menswear, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim since he saw it while looking dancing shoes when he was attending Áirc Damhsa's Culture Camp. To mark the occasion, young Séamie Séan is gearing up for his grand arrival in Carrick-on-Shannon on Saturday, August 16, making his way to the store in a stretched limousine along with his cousins who will serve as his 'bodyguards' for the day. Adding to the full circle experience, Séamie Séan will be joined by by dancers and musicians from Áirc Damhsa, founded by local treasure and artistic director, Edwina Guckian. It was Edwina who first suggested he visit Gerard Anthony Menswear when he originally went looking for dancing shoes as he was attending Áirc Damhsa's Culture Camp in the town. There were no shoes, but he spotted the suit. And so, the story will come full circle on Saturday with a celebratory dance, fun and festivities. Young Séamie Séan is the son of renowned Kíla musician Seanan Brennan and musician/actress Fiona Maria Fitzpatrick and has been surrounded by music all his life, singing since the age of two and recently taking up the fiddle with Comhaltas Phil Rooney Branch Ballyshannon. During his live TV debut, Séamie Séan told Fleadh25 presenter Aoife Ní Thuairisg that he was going busking at the Fleadh to save for the suit. His mother had agreed he could have it if he raised the money himself and so the showman got to it, playing a tune, singing and even doing The Brush Dance on the bustling Wexford streets and winning the hearts of the nation in the process. Lorg Media on behalf of TG4 captured Séamus Seán's first busking gig at the Fleadh. There will be music, dancing, and plenty of laughter as Séamie Séan picks up his dream suit and enjoys a well-earned moment in the spotlight.

Cillian Murphy fans gush over star's very different role in Netflix film
Fans of Cillian Murphy were shocked to see the Irish actor in a different light - as the trailer for his latest movie, Steve, dropped. Netflix released the trailer on Wednesday, with the film starring Cork icon Murphy as a school head teacher. Based on Max Porter's bestselling novel Shy, Steve is the story of a head teacher facing the impending closure of the reform school where he works, told in parallel with the struggle of one of his students. READ MORE: Cillian Murphy might just be the 'worst celebrity in the world', says Oppenheimer co-star READ MORE: Cillian Murphy would be 'interesting' choice for James Bond role, Succession star claims It has been adapted for the big screen by Murphy's own production company, Big Things Films, which he started with long-time partner Alan Maloney, reports the Irish Star. Steve is the second movie released by Big Things Films, approximately one year after Small Things Like These wowed audiences, but failed to secure Murphy any real award nominations. What is new Netflix movie Steve about? The drama is set in the mid 1990s, and follows a pivotal day in the life of Murphy's character and his students who are attending a 'last-chance' reform school. As Steve fights to protect the school's integrity while also fighting its impending closure, he grapples with his own mental health. In parallel to Steve's struggles, troubled teen Shy - played by Jay Lycurgo - is caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence. Netflix release trailer for Cillian Murphy's new movie, Steve How does the character differ to previous roles? When asked about the film, Murphy admitted Steve was "one of the most kind of exposing and terrifying characters I've ever played". The viewers seem to agree with Murphy that the role was different to anything they've seen him in before. While the actor is known for his dark, moody characters like Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders, or Robert J Oppenheimer, Steve puts a new spin on the trope. On Reddit, film lovers discussed Murphy's role in the upcoming release, with one commenting, "He is so insanely talented." Another wrote, "Well, he's nailing the 'overworked teacher of a challenging population.' I feel this picture. I have three more days." One user pointed out that although the subject matter is unique, the role isn't too far out of Murphy's realm. "Another Cillian Murphy character going through it. we're so back!!!" they wrote. "Cillian picking small but powerful projects is the best use of winning an Oscar. He seems to be doing exactly what he wants." There's more to come from the actor this year. The highly anticipated Peaky Blinders movie is rumoured to be released before the end of the year. Furthermore, after news of the film emerged, the creators teased the idea that the hit show might actually be returning for another season.
