Nuala is an accomplished traditional singer, writer, tunesmith and flute player. Here is an introduction to her new album from Nuala herself. youtube/watch?v=Ulj1rsXJ1Ok She is on her way to The KVMR Celtic Festival where she is the headline artist. For this tour she has a full backing band, with no less than Johnny Connolly on accordion ( rootsworld/interview/connolly.html ), Eamon OLeary on guitar and percussionist Mathias Kunzli.

The combination of the best of two cultures, Scotland and Ireland, is what has made Nuala the artist she is today. She released her third solo record Noble Stranger (Compass Records) in 2012 to critical acclaim. The Nuala Kennedy Band have a driving contemporary sound and were nominees in the 2013 BBC Alba Scottish Traditional Folk Awards. In 2011 Nuala completed a Masters Degree in Composition and Performance and the result was an even deeper understanding of, and commitment to traditional music, which is evident in the powerful performances she gives, wherever she is on tour. She tours under her own name as well as being a member of several international traditional music groups including Oirialla (Gerry O Connor, Martin Quinn) and new vocal group The Alt (John Doyle, Eamon O Leary) Www.nualakennedy Press Says: mellifluous flute playing and delicately ornamented singing Scotsman 2014 Cheeky, dynamically textured and full of ideas. ****Scotland on Sunday 2013 frisky, excitingly vital and wonderfully original ****Songlines 2013 a flute player and composer of remarkable finesse, fearless of the unknown THE IRISH TIMES 2013
