Thousands of people gathered at Sáipéal na Carraige in Corca Dhuibhne today to bid farewell to traditional musician Séamus Begley.
The Baile na bPoc native was renowned for his box-playing skills and for his vast repertoire of songs.
Mr Begley, 73, was widely regarded as one the country's finest accordion players, while his gentle style of singing endeared him to audiences the world over.
He recorded his first album with his sister Máire in 1973 and collaborated with musicians such as Steve Cooney, Jim Murray and Tim Edey on further albums.
Described today as Rí an Pharóiste (King of the Parish), Fr Eoin Ó Cadhla said "Séamus's music came from his heart and soul... his love for the land, the Irish language and his family were paramount and he shared his talent generously".
Mr Begley was laid to rest in Reilig Chill Chuáin, at the foot of Mount Brandon.
Many tributes have been paid to Mr Begley in recent days, with President Michael D Higgins saying he will be remembered as "one of Ireland's finest accordion players".
Mr Begley is survived by his wife Mary, his four children and extended family.
