Brian Kennedy

Brian Kennedy appearing at this event

Brian Kennedy is one of Ireland's most successful ambassadors of music. He discovered his voice when he found that he could repeat a note pitch perfect in music class in school and could harmonise along with the radio. Some years later he found himself in the enviable position of having three albums in the top 30 of the Irish album charts simultaneously. Described by Q Magazine as having 'a voice to charm the angels', it is clear that Brian will only continue to strengthen his reputation as a unique artist with a distinctive and extraordinary musical talent.
