Nuala Kennedy & Eamon O’ Leary  www.nualakennedy.com  

Noted for their instrumental skills and songwriting, Nuala Kennedy and Eamon O’ Leary are internationally recognized members of the traditional music community, with a diverse repertoire of traditional and contemporary song.  With an engaging stage presence and understated virtuosity, they present a timeless selection of songs and instrumentals that range from the ancient Irish tradition to reflections on the present day.

Nuala and Eamon recorded their latest album, Hydra, in an old carpet factory, whose windows open onto the Aegean Sea. Here they present stories of the sea, of love and courtship, of work and ritual, of emigration, of war… Hydra reverberates with a sense of space, and a palpable delight in place and storytelling. Chosen folk Album of the month by The Guardian, and receiving rave reviews around the world, it is another not to be missed recording by this magnificent duo.
