Nuala Kennedy is a singer and flautist playing traditional music from Scotland, Ireland and the fathomless realms of her own imagination. Her second album 'TUNE IN' (released on COMPASS Records) was inspired by an old wireless radio, and features ten very different and evocative tracks including an extravagant musical adventure of a finale. Reviews have described it as:
'A Picaresque Adventure' **** The Irish Times,
'Adventurous and Absorbing' **** The List Radio
'Kennedy is never Static' **** TheScotsman
'Stunning Irish-Scottish traditional music with a twist' **** Maverick
As well as her eclectic band of long-term collaborators, she has worked with a diverse range of artists including Will Oldham, Norman Blake, Euros Childs, Ziggy Campbell and FOUND, Cathal McConnell, Caoimhin O'Raghaillaigh, Gerry 'fiddle' O'Connor, Troy MacGillivray and the late great Canadian composer Oliver Schroer, with whom she recorded 'Enthralled' a duo album of original compositions.
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"
