About Me |
|
| Nuala Kennedy is a traditional singer and flautist playing a range of music from Scotland, Ireland and beyond. She is becoming more recognised for her quirky sense of composition, having been commissioned to write a New Voices piece ‘Astar:Journey’ for Celtic Connections, ‘Touya’ for Distil and taking part in new music residencies: OMI International Compositional Residency in New York and The Burnsong Songhouse in Scotland, where she experimented with song-writing. Her debut 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. She is currently finishing ‘Enthralled’ a duo album of original music with the late great Oliver Schroer, and working on her own second album ‘Footsteps’ (Compass Records 2009)
She is also a member of 'Voyage de Nuit', a new music quintet blending flamenco, jazz and trad. They are touring around Scotland in June 2009. Check www.myspace.com/travelatnight for details.
