Wendy Seager~ Vocals, Bodhrán and Whistles

Next musician- Ellen

Wendy has been singing since she was a small child,

and was eventually singing in bands by the time she reached secondary school.

These were bands of varying genres until at the tender age of 16 she discovered folk!

Regularly joining her parents at the local folk club

The Railway Inn, in Lymm, Cheshire, she was bitten by the bug

and began treading the path at folk clubs

in and around the North West of England.

Influenced by the likes of Deidre Scanlon, Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill,

Maddy Prior, Dolores Keane, Niamh Parsons and Karine Polwart,

Wendy loves both traditional and contemporary folk,

from all sides of the British Isles and Ireland. This is to be heard

in the broad range of songs and styles she sings today.

Wendy also plays Bodhrán (a lovely blood red Brendan White) and penny whistle.

Wendy is of English/Scottish parentage

and came to the Netherlands some 15 years ago,

where she began her ‘Dutch folk career’ with Bert Haasjes

in her first mainland Europe endeavour, the duo “Widdershins”,

in which she played for some 5 years.

Later Wendy joined the North Holland band ‘Emerald’

with whom she gigged in and around the Netherlands and Belgium with,

for a further 4 years

After a brief musical interlude and tour to Germany and Hungary

with the dynamic band ‘Dolmen’ she continues to regularly visit

Irish/traditional sessions around the country where she is a well known face.

Today she is found as the vocalist of the fresh new band Drumlin.
