Your band on this Saturday night is “The Kilkennys “ making a welcome first visit to HQ.
The Kilkennys are a 4-piece traditional Irish ballad group, who have been entertaining audiences all over the country, and internationally for the past ten years, with their unique and accomplished style of playing and vocal talent.
Known as one of the hardest working bands in Ireland, they perform the length and breath of the country up to five nights a week. Up to now, they have been performing as Uisce Beatha, but due to various crucial reasons and the fact that a few bands with the same name have sprung up around the world, the decision was taken to change the name to The Kilkennys, as the boys are very proud of their black and amber roots!
This name change coincided with the band signing up to Dolphin Records, the record company of such Irish music legends as Mary and Frances Black, Liam Clancy, Dolores Keane, Ronnie Drew, Jack L and Sonny Knowles. The band was originally formed by Dave Cashin, Adam Cashin and Tommy Mackey, while at school in St. Kierans College in Kilkenny. Robbie Campion would later come on board to complete the bands unique vocal and musical sound.
The Kilkennys have shared the stage with some of the country’s most prominent folk icons, including Shane McGowan, Finbarr Furey and the late Ronnie Drew. They have also toured Scotland, Germany and the US on a number of occasions to great acclaim. Now with the forthcoming release of their debut album and live DVD, audiences will be enthralled by the energy, passion and musical talents of The Kilkennys.
On Sun 24th January its the Late Night Disco Bar with HQ’s Resident DJ bringing you a magical 70′s, 80′s and 90′s music night with Free Admission to all patrons.
Do not forget to VOTE -VOTE -VOTE for HQ’s No 1 Patron, Michelle Skehan, who will be giving it her all, earlier in the evening, on the All Ireland Talent Show, @ 6.30pm on RTE1. Best of luck from all in HQ Michelle.
