(click on the artistes name to see a photo and /or a short biography)
Sean Corcoran writes - Getting onto a train between Belfast and Dublin I heard the strains of the reel 'Devanney's Goat' tin-whistling down the corridor and I knew immediately who it was. I found John Kennedy entertaining a carriage-load of travellers to while away the journey - "My God, Kennedy! Do you ever cease?"
John Kennedy is one of the great voices of Irish traditional song and also a renowned musician, teacher, songmaker and tunesmith. This album is a selection from John's branbag of songs along with some fascinating pieces from his unique repertoire of old traditional fifing tunes.
