Irelands Folk Band of the Year , THE HIGH KINGS is comprised of Darren Holden (star of the Broadway hit show by Billy Joel 'Movin' Out'), Finbarr Clancy (of the well-known Clancy family), Martin Furey (son of the 'prince of pipers' Finbar Furey) and Brian Dunphy (son of showband legend Sean Dunphy). A quartet of accomplished musical pedigrees, the band first exploded onto the Irish folk music scene in 2008 with their self-titled debut CD and DVD and was introduced to American audiences on Public Television. They have sold out hundreds of shows, in Ireland and the US, made numerous TV appearances and achieved platinum status in Ireland with both albums. On their new album Memory Lane, The High Kings showcase their incredible versatility and skills as multi-instrumentalists, playing 13 instruments between the four of them, bringing a rousing acoustic flavor to brand new songs as well as some old favorites. Memory Lane captures the ensembles energetic sound of 'folk n roll', serving up laughter, good times and even the occasional sing-a-long.
I have their first cd, and this one is just as good if not even better. The harmony is beautiful and the traditional songs all have a fresh sound,without losing a thing. Worth every bit. Fantastic Irish Ballad group, if you like Irish music: GET THIS CD!
