Nuala Kennedy

Based in her adopted homeland of Scotland, Irish traditional singer and flautist Nuala Kennedy performs a range of material from across the Irish and Scottish traditional music repertoires.

She also composes her own idiosyncratic brand of traditional music and tours in a variety of lineups from duo and quartet to a nine-piece festival band.
Her debut solo album ‘The New Shoes’ released on Compass Records was warmly received around the world. It was voted traditional album of the week by The Irish Times, and traditional highlight of 2008 by Hotpress.

In 2009, in collaboration with guitarist Philippe Guidat and the Scottish Arts Council, she touring a successful new world music project entitled ‘VOYAGE DE NUIT’, showcasing songs and compositions inspired by flamenco, jazz and traditional music. Later that year, she also toured Ireland with MISLAID, a collaboration with Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Euros Childs (Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci) and Irish fiddler Caoimhin O’ Raghaillaigh.

She has performed and recorded with American hipster and indie-poet Will Oldham (Domino Records 2008), French guitarist Philippe Guidat, Scotland’s Norman Blake and cutting-edge Canadian composer Oliver Schroer, with whom she recorded ‘Enthralled’ a duo album of entirely original compositions. Her own second solo album also due out on Compass Records (2010) will feature guest appearances by these stars, as well as some of her long-time musical accomplices.
