In December 2016, The Maguires released their debut traditional Irish music album 'Little Giants and Other Oxymorons.' On it, the band members wrote six of the eleven tracks.

Although The Maguires are a traditional Irish band, they describe themselves as “a blend of youthful energy and musical maturity” taking some of their favorite traditional tunes and more modern ones and adding syncopated, infectious rhythms to the mix.

The Maguires have earned themselves admirers across the globe after featuring on The Ray D'Arcy Show in Ireland to an estimated half a million viewers in May 2016:

While Seán is a fantastic player in his own right, the rest of the Maguires are no slouches themselves. Be sure to stay until the end of the video to see what the rest of the family can do. The reaction from the crowd at the end says it all. Among the talented acts at the annual Temple Bar Trad Fest, these young musicians stand out.
