Barry Kerr, multi-instrumentalist, composer, singer and painter releases his new single Father’s Way today. Watch the accompanying video featuring Galway hurler Maidhc Ó Conghaile.

Barry and Laura have together made a scrapbook of their life in traditional music and it is truly lovely. There are no airs or graces, no production gymnastics, just a unique snapshot of how these siblings will forever be joined through a living tradition that they themselves have now passed on.

Barry Kerr has revealed a new video for his song Illegal from his latest album Boy in a Boat…”Barry’s lyric subtly highlights the extreme differences between rich and poor, and the devastating effects that immigration can have.”

Part Two – Best Folk Music Albums of 2015 including: Bella Hardy, Damien O’Kane, Fabian Holland, Jackie Oates, Karen Matheson, False Lights, O’Hooley & Tidow, Martyn Joseph, Richard Thompson, Rachel Taylor-Beales, Eliza Carthy, John Jones and more.

It’s been a long time coming, but ‘Boy In A Boat’ is a fine record, which combines literate songwriting and top class musicianship with high production values and painstaking attention to detail. The result is an album of which Barry Kerr can be justifiably proud; one which more than holds its own with the big names of the contemporary Celtic music scene.

A great folk and roots mix to welcome in the weekend with featuring new music from Shooglenifty, Richard Thompson, Kila, Blueflint, The Milk Carton Kids and many more.

Barry Kerr is one of Ireland’s finest Irish traditional musicians, songwriter and artist. He is planning a long awaited album release which he now needs fan support in achieving.
