Brian Kennedy, one of Irelands most loved and successful ambassadors of music, is returning to Australian shores. Brians latest concerts come on the back of his 2008 album, Interpretations, and will no doubt follow the now established local tradition with Australian audiences embracing Brians previous shows over two highly successful tours.

In August 2009, Brian was honoured at the annual Irelands Music Awards ceremony the only national Irish Traditional, Folk and Celtic music awards ceremony in Ireland taking out the top prize for Best Male Vocalist.

Brian Kennedys last tour to Australia saw the Adelaide Street Press exclaim, Brian Kennedy possesses such a soulful, angelic voice that he can reduce grown people to tears.

Meanwhile, John Shand of the Sydney Morning Herald said about Brians version of the traditional Irish classic, Carrickfergus, It is hard to imagine a better voice to sing this glorious lament than Kennedys, keening like uilleann pipes over gentle finger picking. It is the ethereal upper register that so sets this voice apart, but the truly remarkable aspect of it is how seamlessly he moves between his natural tenor and his falsetto.

The latest Brian Kennedy album, Interpretations is his 10th album, and unusually for such a prolific songwriter includes versions of 13 of the most popular chart-toppers of the past 30-odd years. From Gaye to Galileo, Brown-Eyed Girl to You Are So Beautiful, to name a few, Brian makes these songs his own with some surprising and unique results.

Of the new album, Irish Music Magazine said, Interpretations is a celebration of quality and talent from one of Irelands most prolific singers a true artist.

Make sure you witness this very special occasion.
