Irish band Seo Linn are making waves in the US after their revolutionary performance as part of the official 1916 broadcast.
The six-piece, who formed at Irish college, went viral after their cover of Avicii’s Wake Me Up in Irish received over 5 million views on YouTube.
Currently chasing an American record deal, the band travelled to the States to play several dates including their performance at New York’s Battery Park.

The multi-instrumentalists’ manager Troy Armour revealed that the band are currently weighing up a major US deal.
“We have been working hard now for the last 12 months and today was a big win for the guys – Elevation Group have made us a very interesting offer to take the band back to the US and work on promoting the guys in this market,” he said.
“We are at a point now we have offers on the table, at home and abroad, and we have decisions to make.”
