  • Bio

    Nuala Kennedy is a singer and flautist playing traditional music from Scotland, Ireland and from the fathomless realms of her own imagination. Her latest album 'Tune In' is released on Nashville's Compass Records, and was inspired by an old analogue radio. It features ten unique and evocative tracks with guest appearances by several well known recording artists. Described variously as 'A Picaresque Adventure' **** The Irish Times, 'Adventurous and Absorbing' **** The List, Radio Kennedy is never Static' **** The Scotsman, Tune In was voted one of the top ten traditional albums of 2010 by The Irish Times. A new animation by Irish artist Dave Morrow of 'All of These Days' a song from Tune In can be seen here! As well as her eclectic band of merry minstrels, Kennedy has worked with a diverse range of artists including Will Oldham, Norman Blake, Euros Childs, Ziggy Campbell and FOUND, Cathal McConnell Caoimhin O’Raghaillaigh, Filippo Gambetta, Troy Macgillivray, Andrea Beaton, Kimberley Fraser and the late great Canadian composer Oliver Schroer, with whom she recorded ‘Enthralled’ a duo album of original compositions. (Borealis Records 2011) Her debut traditional album ‘The New Shoes’ received rave reviews from pundits around the globe, was voted album of the week in the Irish Times and was featured in Hotpress’ Top Ten Folk Albums of last year. "A Dazzling debut” ****The IRISH TIMES "upbeat, lightfilled..utterly beguiling"**** SONGLINES MUSIC MAGAZINE As part of OIREALLA Nuala performs the music and song of her native South-East Ulster in Ireland, with veteran Irish musos Gerry 'fiddle' O'Connor, Martin Quinn on accordion and Breton guitarist Gilles Le Bigot.

    Hi Nuala, thanks for the great show here, in Brittany, and the workshop with you ... It was a wonderful time, even if I was so stressed to play at least less bad than usually :) We took some photos after, in the session and I will send you them if they are nice ... Thanks again and I hope that you will come again, Nicole
