That fine singer Linn Phipps now has a website, www.linnphippsfolk.co.uk And congratulations to Linn - her submission to the Royal National Mod Virtual Mod Traditional Solo competition was Third - she's highly delighted! It’s on the ACG Youtube and Facebook pages. (added 21/10/2020) DAVE MASON (currently based in Cincinnati, Ohio) I was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne but grew up in Johannesburg, SA. I learned to play bagpipes at school and guitar during time in SA. Started writing my own songs 1980’s influenced by Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon, Rodriguez, Shawn Phillips and SA artists like Fiona Tozer, Nibs van Der Spuy / Landscape Prayers, David Kramer, Koos du Plessis. Played various folk clubs and festivals in SA and UK 1990’s. Recently started writing and singing again after a 20 year hiatus. Busy working on my 6th folk album, I also have three books of bagpipe compositions available for free download.

Brendan Kennedy has been singing traditional/folk songs for many years and is well known in the singing clubs in and around Dublin, such as “An Góilín”, “The Clé Club”, “Croonerista” and many others. Originally from Dublin but now living in Maynooth, he was introduced to folk singing by Phil Callery of The Voice Squad in the 1990’s when Phil was a regular attender at traditional sessions in Áras Chrónáin Cultural Centre, where Brendan was a member. In 2019 he recorded his first CD “In Good Company” which includes a mixture of folk songs from Ireland, England and Scotland. Older, traditional songs such as “Matty Groves” and “The Limerick Rake” are included alongside more recent songs such as “The Lifeboat Prayer” and 2 original songs, “One More Day With You” and ”Mary Woods”. A host of talented musicians that he has met over the years provide accompaniment on mandolin, fiddle, guitar, bouzouki, flute and bodhrán while he is also joined on vocals on 2 tracks by Niamh Parsons. For further information contact Brendan at brendan12k34kennedy <at> gmail.com (added 11/11/2020) |

The Sesh Search provides information on events in which audience members take turns to perform (events where audience members simply listen to featured performers are indicated in a Gig List). (added 13/11/2020)
