Sean Kenan

Sean Kenan is a full-time street performer in Castlemaine and Daylesford. He plays Irish tenor banjo and Irish fiddle. Sean played in the traditional Irish Band, Poteen back in the 1970's. He moved to Canberra in 1990 and was a founding member of the Tinkers, an Irish tune band that was unique in the fact there were no songs, just tunes. Mark Twain played the banjo and said, "There comes a time in every man's life when he realises the most important thing, playing the banjo." This is the stage of life that Sean has arrived at.
