CIARAN LAVERY

About me

Gender	Male
Introduction	I was taken by Ciaran's voice - battered, winsome and tender. Hank Williams once said that "you got to have smelt a lot of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly" and I wonder what was in the air when this young guy from Lurgan got his style together. Stuart Bailie, BBC Ciaran Lavery, the voice at the front of Irish folk-rock act Captain Kennedy, is set to release his debut solo EP "You Will be a Stranger Now" in May 2011. The EP, available for download on Bandcamp, represents a significant departure from the upbeat, melodic songs that Captain Kennedy are renowned for. This material is dark and raw with a poignancy that will touch your very core.
