Music filling the void for this talented Mulkerrin brother after horrific knee injury

You could find him in Tí Joe Wattys on Inis Mór or in An Chistin in Carraroe.

He could be singing or dancing or, on another night, he could playing the banjo or the guitar. Gaelic football has been number one for the last few years but, ever since Sean Mulkerrin suffered a horrific knee injury in a Sigerson Cup game back in January, he's gone back to his roots. He's filled the void left by Gaelic football and replaced it with the traditional Irish music he was reared on. Let's not forget, this is one third of the Mulkerrin brothers who, in representing the west of Ireland, won the All-Ireland talent show back in 2009. They were the Sean Nós dancers and musicians that stole the hearts of the nation and, even after all these years, the Galway full back still has people asking him about it.
