KIERAN HALPIN

+ guests

Irish singer songwriter with 19 albums released and a string of hit songs – many recorded by major artists including Vin Garbutt, John Wright, The Battlefield Band, Dolores Keane, Niamh Parsons to name but a few. He is widely regarded as one of the hardest working musicians on the acoustic scene with upwards of 170 per year. As a performer he is powerful, passionate, intimate and intense. As a singer and writer he is truly unique.

His latest CD – the devil and his dealing – written and released late last year – is regarded by many as one of his finest. It was recorded in Oxfordshire in England with Jimmy Smith/guitar, Percy Pursglove/double bass, Manfred Leuchter/accordion and Yogi Jockusch/percussion.

“He has a voice that sells the songs and cuts to the heart”

“Thought provoking lyrics and memorable melodies”

“These songs made me think, laugh and cry – all in one evening”
