“Seamus is something of a musical wizard - Mixing his influences from his Irish Roots, Acoustic folk and Americana, he has cemented himself as a key player here in the music scene”
— Cornish Gig Guide
Seamus Mckenna
Who am I?
Solo artist Séamus McKenna has over a decades experience in writing, recording and performing. Mixing influences from his Irish Roots, Acoustic folk and Americana Séamus has an unique yet familiar sound. Racking up an average of 150+ Gigs a year, Seamus is no stranger to a crowd.
In 2024 Seamus moved from the North of England to Cornwall in search of inspiration. His time in the ancient county has provided him with a wealth of local musicians to collaborate with. He is currently curating a series of events called "Get Folk'd!" Promoting local artists and helping support the grassroots music scene. He is also working on a number of collaborative songs with other artists in the area.
Séamus has a BA Hons in Songwriting and Musical Composition and has released a number of his own recordings including 2022's single Man on the Moon and his debut album named after its title track Take Me To The Mountains featured on BBC Merseyside & BBC Radio 6 Music. In 2024 Seamus released Calling To You which was well received and also picked up by BBC Introducing South West. 2025 saw the release of "By The Wind Sailor" and a collaboration with Cornwall based Cellist Paddy Mitton (Swallows and Crows) to record and release a live version of legendary Irish song "The Parting Glass".
Seamus has hit the ground running in 2025 working on a huge collaboration of songs, festivals and events. Highlights of the year include performing at Paradhis festival (mains stage), St Ives Arts Club, The Poly Theatre Falmouth, Newquay Food Festival, Porthleven Food Festival, Penzance Food Festival, Dart Music Fest (main stage), The Cornish Bank, The Fish Factory, The KCM, Falmouth Pavillions and many many more.
Séamus is now based in Porthleven, Cornwall and continues to build a following through regular touring, festivals and local shows and working with the artists community to continue to create a better environment for artists to flourish in.

What Is Get Folk'd?
"Grassroots Music is where it all begins"
In 2024 Seamus set up his own promotions company - "Get Folk'd!" in response to the decrease in opportunities for local grassroots artists to perform ticketed events - "There are too many incredible musicians out there who don't have enough opportunities to play proper shows, instead they find themselves stuck in the corner of a pub, mostly ignored, whilst the football plays in the background". Get Folk'd was set up to counter this and provide artists the stage and audience they deserve. So far they have been a huge success collaborating with renowned grassroots venues such as The Cornish Bank, The Fish Factory, Shoals Brewery, Carnglaze caverns and many more. Keep your eyes peeled for the next Get Folk'd Event!

Get Folk'd! Presents - "Old Spot Live At The Fish Factory, Penryn".
Old Spot (Rowan Piggott & Joe Danks) burst onto the scene with a critically acclaimed debut album and a whirlwind UK tour, quickly establishing themselves as a fresh force in old-time music. Praised for their raw energy and expressive musicianship, the duo lit up stages across UK/EU folk, bluegrass, and old-time festivals.
Now, Old Spot continue to push the boundaries of stringband tradition – digging deeper into the roots of old-time while crafting a live show that’s equal parts intimate and electrifying. Their forthcoming album, recorded in the Scottish Borders, captures this evolving sound with fresh material and atmospheric arrangements. Whether trading close harmonies, ripping into a tune, or experimentally reworking a classic, Old Spot captivate audiences with a sound that’s both steeped in tradition and boldly original.
“The sound is fresh, modern and spacious, but this remains traditional old time music played with a deep respect and a clear connection to the original recordings. Old Spot is an uplifting melting pot of different approaches which merge seamlessly." – Old Time News
Join us for a wholesome evening of music at one of Cornwall's most progressive and creative community spaces, The Fish Factory.
