Cormac O’Sé is the director of O’Shea Irish Dancer in St. Paul, Minnesota. His performers Taylor and Meghan are headed to Glasgow Royal Concert Hall to compete in the Irish Dancing Championships. They share their love of Irish dancing, the details of their intense training, and the inside story on those wigs! Growing out of bands like Wes Burdine & The Librarians and Realspace, The Small Cities have a sound we can’t resist.
