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 U.K. 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/songwriter Paul McKenna (guitar); David McNee (bouzoukis); Ruairidh Macmillan (fiddle); Sean Gray (flute and 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/percussion. Paul has been described as ‘having a voice that will stay with you, with a haunting quality that can make the most ordinary songs memorable’.
