Sligo actor to the fore in new children's TV show about a dog exploring nature in the West of Ireland
Starring the acclaimed Sligo actor and current Hawk's Well 'Artist in Residence', Niamh McGrath as Farmer Lily, Seamus Goes Wild follows the adventures of Seamus the farm dog as he explores the rivers, coasts, fields and forests of the west of Ireland.
Niamh said: 'Working on Seamus Goes Wild has been an absolute dream job. Seamus is so much fun to work with, and playing Farmer Lilly brought me so much joy. This beautiful series is perfect for children—they'll learn so much about the amazing animals, trees, and the natural world around us. It truly ignites their imagination and inspires a deeper appreciation for the magic of nature.'
Concept and scripts were developed by Sligo native, Eimear Healy who is currently Head of Development with GMarsh TV and has worked across many award-winning documentaries including the Funeral Director with Sligo Undertaker, David McGowan.
