“Shanakee” is a Gaelic word that has survived and thrived over the years, and means “story-tellers”.
Shanakee are a highly-charged, energetic, up-tempo folk-rock outfit, made up of members who have played in several bands over the years, all of whom love great music, stories and folk tales.
Playing a mix of original and traditional music with their own slant. The Medway towns and the mystic marshlands of New Romney / Dungeness are the inspiration for this unique blend. Keep an eye on our gig listings and venture out into the night to see us play real soon!
