The Kens have been together since the Summer of 2000, producing songs which blend blues, folk and acousticness. We can be found at coffee shops and open-mic nights on the Isle of Man. We also have an alter-ego 'Scaanjoon' - (Manx gaelic for 'ghost') which is pretty much the same thing, but with traditional Manx subject matter in the lyrics.
