Enda Kenny At The Black Swan Folk Club

Enda Kenny is an Irish-born Australian folk-singer and songwriter. He's visited the Black Swan Folk Club before and given us some highly entertaining performances. Born in Dublin he migrated to Melbourne and released his debut album, Twelve Songs, in 1994. Though self-recorded and self-released, the album received generally solid reviews, and was described by the Sydney Morning Herald as "the best folk album to be released in this country since Eric Bogle's "Scraps of Paper" It was followed by Baker's Dozen in 1996, which received similarly positive reviews. A song from that album, Rabin, about assassinated former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, won the Lawson Paterson Award for Songwriting at the Port Fairy Folk Festival. After a brief hiatus, Kenny released his fourth album, Cloud Lining, in 2001 and then Here and There in 2005. In his review of Here and There, Sydney Morning Herald music reviewer Bruce Elder described Kenny as "the best folk singer-songwriter working in Australia. Kenny has regularly performed at a number of music festivals around the country, including the National Folk Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival and Illawarra Folk Festival. We welcome him back to the Black Swan Folk Club on this latest UK tour with a brand new album 'After the Interval' under his belt.
