Folk at Nortons: Seán Magee Tour 2026

We’re very excited to launch Folk at Nortons with a special live show from Seán Magee on Friday 20 February.

Seán began playing traditional Irish music at just seven years old, taking fiddle lessons from Irish music legend Pat McManus. By the age of nine, he was already gigging regularly, performing in pubs and venues across the north of Ireland alongside his father. A few years later, his siblings joined him on stage, forming The Magee Family Band, who still reunite for the occasional show.

At just 14 years old, Seán won 1st place at the All Ireland Fleadh in the under-15 fiddle category – a huge achievement and early sign of the musician he was becoming.

In recent years, Seán has built an impressive solo career, touring extensively across Ireland, the UK, Europe and the USA, including shows in Germany, Spain, Amsterdam and New York City. He also spent a year touring with Rory Gallagher of Rory and The Island, playing dates across Ireland, the UK and Europe, and completing a residency at RiRa Irish Bar in Las Vegas in 2019.

Alongside his live work, Seán has grown a strong online following, now reaching over 150,000 people across social platforms, connecting audiences worldwide through his energetic performances and wide-ranging musical style.

Expect a powerful live set rooted in Irish tradition but delivered with pace, personality and serious musicianship. This first Folk at Nortons night is about bringing storytelling, energy and connection into the room – and Seán Magee is the perfect artist to kick things off.
