Kieran Halpin has recorded 19 albums, a live DVD and published 2 songbooks in a remarkable career spanning more than 36 years. He is a successful songwriter with many of his songs covered by other artists such as Ilse De Lange, Vin Garbutt, Dolores Keane, Geraldine McGowan, Tom McConville, Niamh Parsons, The Battlefield Band, Flossie and the late John Wright. In fact his songs are performed in clubs, pubs and concert halls throughout the world. He has recorded albums in his native Ireland, Scotland, London, Nashville, Oxford and Sydney.
While his albums are always something to look forward to, it is live on stage where Kieran Halpin makes his mark. His singing and guitar playing is powerful and passionate, intimate and intense. His voice has such an edge to it that he sounds like he is living every song. He has managed to marry his intelligent and thought provoking lyrics with great melodies and has developed over the years into a writer with a style all his own.
Halpin is equally at home playing to a small folk club audience or a large festival crowd.
