Celebrating the launch of his new album, At home with McKenna, flute player Liam Kelly brings the music of the 1920/30s back to life playing John McKenna’s original Concert ‘D’ flute accompanied by Kevin Brehony on keyboard.

Liam Kelly grew up in Sligo Town and is a founding member of Ireland’s internationally renowned and award-winning traditional band Dervish. In a career spanning 31 years, which they celebrated in 2020, Dervish have produced 14 albums and have toured worldwide. Liam has also recorded a solo album Sweetwood as well as a duet album Sets in Stone with Sligo Fiddler Philip Duffy.

Kevin Brehony who hails from Castlebaldwin, Co. Sligo has a long-standing empathy and a deep-rooted understanding of McKenna’s music.
