On Friday, February 21, the Seanti live music venue will host three of the South East's finest singer-songwriters in a very special concert.
A sell-out gig in the iconic Sea Church, Ballycotton and a hugely successful nationwide album tour, that saw Fiona Kennedy play in many of Ireland's top live music venues, places her firmly back in the top drawer of Irish female artists.
The Cork native released her latest album, 'Find Me' in March 2023.
In its first week of release, 'Find Me' was made Album of the Week on RTÉ Lyric Fm’s, 'Marty in the Morning' show and a single release ‘All Together Now’, featured on the RTÉ Radio 1 Recommends List, reaching No.4 on the Irish and U.K. airplay chart.
Kennedy had her own one hour TV special on RTÉ, and has supported international artists such as Carole King, Kris Kristofferson and John Martyn
The singer's new show, entitled ‘Natural Woman’, a collection of original songs, stories and readings, inspired by extraordinary women, recently sold out its two night run in the Cork Arts Theatre.
Hank Wedel, born in Dayton, Ohio in 1963, was raised in New York City and Mallow, County Cork.
