Séan O Riada
'It is not possible for a sean nós singer to sing any two verses of a song in the same way... What makes a sean nós singer better than another, more than anything else, is his ability to do this better. The variation must not interfere with the basic structure of the song. They must occur where they would give most point and effect. Since the ability to make artistic variations is creative, we actually demand the talents of the composer in the sean nós singer.'
