Hear the showMore about Frank
Cardiff-born and Welsh to the core
Born and bred in Cardiff, with a career spanning singing, songwriting, broadcasting and public speaking.
Frank Hennessy is a Singer-Songwriter, Broadcaster, Entertainer and After-dinner speaker, and the host of Celtic Heartbeat on BBC Radio Wales.
Frank Hennessy is a Cardiff-born singer-songwriter, broadcaster, entertainer and after-dinner speaker whose work sits at the meeting point of Celtic folk and roots acoustic music. Performing in Welsh and English, he carries the songs and stories of Wales to audiences at home and abroad, with a repertoire shaped by folk, roots and traditional influences. Alongside writing and performing his own material, he has built a career in radio and broadcasting, where his voice and song-writing have become familiar fixtures. The music, the microphone and the stage share a single purpose: keeping a cultural inheritance alive and audible for a new generation.
Getting in touch with Frank is deliberately straightforward, since one channel covers everything from performance bookings to radio and media inquiries, and to general correspondence. Enquiries are best made with the practical details included — the dates in question, the venue, the nature of the request — so that a considered reply can be made without delay. Whether the message concerns a concert, an interview, a broadcast appearance, a speaking engagement or a song, the same route applies. Clear information at the outset helps each enquiry be answered properly and on time.
This site is currently a holding page while it is being built out, so much of what Frank does is still to be documented here. In time it is intended to gather the music, the broadcasting work, the writing and the appearances into a single home, with a strong emphasis on photography, bold typography and the raw, outdoorsy character of the material. The palette and layout follow that rugged, editorial mood: earthy tones, high-contrast monochrome images and angled section breaks rather than soft decoration. Come back soon, and listen — the songs are the surest introduction to everything else.
