Get Folk’d! At Carnglaze Caverns 21/03/26

Here Ye, Here Ye! Get Folk’d! Is coming to Carnglaze Caverns! What on earth is that your probably

wondering? Well lets dive in…

What’s Get Folk’d!?

"GRASSROOTS MUSIC IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS"

In 2024 Singer/Songwriter Seamus McKenna set up his own promotions company - "Get

Folk'd!" in response to the decrease in opportunities for local grassroots artists to perform

ticketed events - "There are too many incredible musicians out there who don't have

enough opportunities to play proper shows, instead they find themselves stuck in the

corner of a pub, mostly ignored, whilst the football takes precedent in the background".

Get Folk’d! was set up to counter this and provide artists the stage and audience they

deserve. So far they have been a huge success collaborating with renowned grassroots

venues such as The Cornish Bank, The Fish Factory, Shoals Brewery, Helton Old Chapel

and many more. If you want to support your local grassroots music scene, a Get Folk’d!

Event is the place to start!

Who do we have playing?

18:00 - 18:45:

Seamus McKenna - Solo artist Séamus McKenna has over a decades experience in

writing, recording and performing. Mixing influences from his Irish Roots, Acoustic folk and

Americana Séamus has an unique yet familiar sound. Racking up an average of 150+

Gigs a year, Seamus is no stranger to a crowd.

In 2024 Seamus moved from the North of England to Cornwall in search of inspiration. His

time in the ancient county has provided him with a wealth of local musicians to collaborate

with. He is currently curating a series of events called "Get Folk'd!" Promoting local artists

and helping support the grassroots music scene. He is also working on a number of

collaborative songs with other artists in the area.

Seamus has hit the ground running in 2025 working on a huge collaboration of songs,

festivals and events. Highlights of the year include performing at Paradhis festival (main

stage), St Ives Arts Club, The Poly Theatre Falmouth, Newquay Food Festival, Porthleven

Food Festival, Penzance Food Festival, Dart Music Fest (main stage), The Cornish Bank,

The Fish Factory, The KCM, Falmouth Pavilions and many many more.

2026 will see the release of his first studio album “Keep on Keeping On” - recorded in a

day at Toucan Studios, Falmouth, by fellow local legends Will Eason and Sam Richardson,

this album is a folk album in it’s truest sense. Raw, uncompromising - It is Seamus exactly

how you hear him on stage.

Séamus is now based in Porthleven, Cornwall and continues to build a following through

regular touring, festivals and local shows and working with the artists community to

continue to create a better environment for artists to flourish in.

19:00 - 19:45:

Swallows & Crows - Songs that smell of seaweed on the beach, when you first heard

seagulls overhead, saw the sea and realised you couldn't cross to the other side.

Swallows and Crows is the evocative folk project of cellist composer Paddy Mitton. A

musical voyage trying to capture Cornwall's sonic soul. What started as a casual

collaboration with friends in the pub morphed into a full-fledged musical journey over many

years.

Inspired by the wild Cornish coast and the stories of those who call it home, Swallows and

Crows' signature sound combines folk music, sea shanties and hint of male voice choir.

Blending hooky melodies with stirring harmonies that echo the soulful ghosts of lost

mariners. A unique sonic identity dubbed as “brilliantly weird” by BBC Introducing. Cornish

cello violin sea shanty male voice choir folk music may well be a new genre.

20:15 - 21:00:

True Foxes - Having performed over 800 shows since forming in 2019, True Foxes are an

acclaimed alt-country/Americana cousin duo from Cornwall, rapidly gaining recognition

across the UK and internationally.

Led by Amie’s powerful vocals and soulful songwriting, often compared to Laura Marling

and Brandi Carlile, the duo blend acoustic guitar with Chloe’s ethereal harmonies and

melodic bass lines. Their honest storytelling, natural chemistry, and warm sisterly banter

take audiences on an emotional journey.

Their debut album, Howl (2024), received widespread acclaim and extensive radio

support, being named Americana Album of the Month by The Country Mile Radio and UK

Country Radio, alongside significant airplay across the UK and internationally. The album

earned glowing reviews from AmericanaUK, Rocking Magpie, and Fatea Magazine, and

saw the duo recognised as BBC Artist of the Week across eight territories.

True Foxes entered 2025 with a sold-out headline tour, followed by a summer of main-

stage festival performances including Between the Trees, Paradhis, Tunes in the Park,

OceanFest, and Sidmouth Folk Festival. In the autumn, they collaborated with folk legend

Steve Knightley, recording vocals for the Winter Yards album and performing live with the

Winter Yards Band across 24 cities.

Returning to their roots in early 2026, the duo will be performing across 21 Cornish

venues, including a church tour alongside singer Will Keating, performing songs such as

Cornwall my Home, as showcased on BBC Spotlight (2025). They will then be hitting the

road again in April for their album launch tour following the release of their highly

anticipated second album, Just a Woman, coming out in March 2026.Upcoming festival performances include Ely Folk Festival, Fisherman’s Friends Festival,

Beardy Folk, The Magpies Festival, and The Brasenose Fringe, with many more dates to
