Who are we?
Kessenyan (meaning harmony) are a young three-part vocal group based in Redruth, Cornwall. Inspired by generations of singers, they specialize in English, Irish and Scottish folk songs and sea shanties. As a trio they are becoming well known for putting their own unique spin on the songs they love and enjoying every moment of it! With fresh arrangements, rich vocals and a love of tradition they are equally at home in a pub setting, intimate folk club or on the big stage.
Kessenyan’s aim is to develop that perfect blend of harmony and tradition within their songs and to continue to share their passion with the aim of getting more young people singing!
“It’s not often that someone the calibre of Tom Wilson claps you on the shoulder (Harry) saying ‘you’re my find of the weekend’ – Great stuff!” – Mel Babbs
“Kessenyan – young, talented, great harmonies and a great future!” – Cornwall Folk Festival
