Seán McKenna

A solo concert by Seán McKenna, a ballad singer from Dundalk, at Cottiers, a concert and performance venue in Glasgow. The evening centres on folk songs and protest songs with a political edge.

Seán McKenna is a ballad singer from Dundalk in County Louth. Before going solo, Seán was a founding member of The Mary Wallopers and toured with the group for nine years, leaving in early 2025.

The solo performance moves between older folk songs and newer songs of protest, sung with powerful guitar lines and lyrics that carry a clear political edge. The material keeps the narrative tradition of the ballad while adding a harder, more direct voice.

Cottiers is a concert and performance venue in Glasgow, and this solo evening suits listeners who want folk songs with a political bent, delivered by a performer whose background lies in ballad singing.
