The Paul McKenna Band
Combining their love for traditional and folk music as well as original songs and tunes, The Paul McKenna Band has been playing to audiences throughout the UK since 2006. With a contemporary approach to songs, although not straying too far from their roots, their arrangements are both fresh and innovative.
The band consists of singer and songwriter Paul McKenna (guitar), David McNee (bouzouki), Ruairidh Macmillan (fiddle) the 2009 BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the year, Sean Gray (flute, whistles) and Ewan Baird (bodhran). Their exciting sound is created through outstanding vocals, driving guitar and bouzouki, intense fiddle playing, a warm pairing of flute and whistle and dynamic bodhran and percussion. |
