Dublin born songwriter, Enda Kenny has lived in Melbourne, Australia since 1987. Like the seanachies and yarn spinners before him, Enda’s songs describe stories of life, of humour, of nature and injustice. Enda’s gift as a performer is his ability to bring alive the individual experience in a way his audience intuitively relates to.
Acclaimed as one of Australia’s best songwriters, Enda has produced six albums – Twelve Songs, Bakers Dozen, Six of One, Cloudlining, Here and There, and the recently released Pearler . All feature the masterful fiddle playing of long time collaborator Lindsay Martin. Live performances regularly feature Lindsay and Sandy Brady on bass, who joined them for the recording of Cloud Lining.
His songs have been recorded by a growing list of local and international artists including Roy Bailey, Karen Lynne, Reel Time, Bram Taylor, Barrie Davis, Bob Eden and Markerr.
