For Ulster Irish I’d recommend (though not typical sean-nós) Albert Fry’s singing, which I find very clear (there are a few songs on Youtube, eg.
Síos an Sliabh,
A Shéamuis Mhic Mhurchaidh,
Cumha an Fhile).
He sounds okay, there were a coiuple of dodgy spots but the lyrics may just be different from the subtitles.
From what I’ve read, although born outside of Gaeltacht (Belfast), he was friends with a Donegal native family and in his youth he’s spent a lot of time in Rann na Feirste in Donegal Gaeltacht. In the 80s he also was a president of the Conradh na Gaeilge.
For Munster (Kerry) Irish,
Séamus Ó Beaglaoich (Séamus Begley), Dingle native, has IMO very clear pronunciation, currently there are some of his songs on Youtube:
An tSeanbhean Bhocht,
Bruach na Carraige Báine (with Mary Black),
Ar Éirinn Ní Neosfainn Cé hÍ,
An Ciarraíoch Mallaithe,
Aililú, na Gamhna (with Louise Morrissey). Spotify also has a few (eg. Amhrán na Leabhar).
