Seán Crummey (1957 – 13 November 2011) was a Belfast playwright, actor[1] and comic impressionist[2] who is most notable as both the writer and the male voice-over star of The Folks on the Hill,[3] a hugely successful, popular programme[4] that started in 2001[5] and ran for over 10 years[3] with a total of seventeen radio and animated television series.

He attended St. Kevin's Primary School and then St Malachy's College before proceeding to Queen's University Belfast from which he graduated in 1980 with a BA in French and Classical Greek.

[1] Some of Crummey's favourite voices to impersonate were the late PUP leader David Ervine, Pope John Paul II, and Bill McLaren.

[12] He also wrote and starred in Stormont, a stage play produced by Martin Lynch and directed by Michael Poynor,[13] that ran at the Theatre at the Mill in Newtownabbey mid-September to early October 2010 selling out many nights of the show's run.

[14][15] On stage, Crummey alternately mimicked two politicians, Ulster Unionist Michael McGimpsey and Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly.
