Eilis kennedy biography book
Éilís was born and raised in West Kerry, Ireland by parents who passed on a lifelong and committed interest in the poetry and songs of that.
Kerry-born Éilís (say Aylish) Kennedy comes of an Irish family where both music and the Gaelic language were part of everyday life, a happy fact reflected in.!
William & Éilís at St. James Church, Dingle. In days of yore.
Early on in the life of A Celtic Christmas we were looking for an Irish singer who could sing in Irish and English and was up for the adventure of a tour in the US.
My brother, Steve Coulter, was living in Dingle, County Kerry at this point and he knew many local musicians, so he suggested to us Éilís Kennedy. We asked and she said yes, and we had a great Celtic Christmas tour together. A fine and generous person with "a voice", as they say, "that could lure the larks from heaven", or "a voice that could rust the hinges off the gates of hell".
That is the voice of Éilís.
Synopsis.When Éilís started planning to record a solo CD she talked to Steve who had a recording studio and she invited me over to accompany her on many of the tracks. We collaborated on three recordings Time to Sail, One Sweet Kiss and her latest, Westward.
We also ended up on a wild tour to Taiwan with the Coulter-Phillips Ensemble.
