“Sean is best known as a singer of self composed songs, mostly humorous and political but some poignant ones such as ‘Rosaleta’ and ‘Jack Campbell’.

“Other well know ones include ‘The Transit Van’, ‘Rosie Black’ & ‘Articles Two and Three’, etc, and the classic ‘New Holland Grove’.

“Sean is well known on the traditional singing circuit and has regularly appeared at sessions the length and breadth of the country and further afield.”

Mr. Strunks encouraged local singers, songwriters and collectors and those who simply enjoy traditional music, to come along.
