Captain Kennedy <captainkennedyband>


Captain Kennedy serve up a blend of bluesy, harmony filled, semi-acoustic rock and roll. The 7-piece band have firmly established their position on the Irish music scene with a number of impressive gigs in high profile venues across the country, with the highlight being a support slot for “the Waiting Room” at a sold-out Mandela Hall.

Other gigs, including support slots for highly rated Cambridge-based outfit “The Broken Family Band”, and appearances at Belfest and GIFTED @ The Empire, have helped Captain Kennedy build up a solid and loyal fan base.

2006 saw the release of Captain Kennedy’s debut EP “Sweetest Friend” which has received great feedback from the press and regular airplay on local radio stations. A video to accompany the song directed by Manchini.co.uk is also available.

With a number of gigs already lined up for the next few months and another EP planned for release, expect to hear a lot more from Captain Kennedy in 2008!!

Captain Kennedy says:
"New song Roll Ramona up on our Myspace now. Go to http://www.myspace.com/captainkennedy for a listen!" (2 weeks ago) me too!

What the Press have said
The Irish News: “Sweetest Friend walks a fine line between pop balladry and indie soul and would be playing on daytime radio stations right now if there was any justice in the world.”

BBC Across the Line: “When you’ve got the Americana sound as polished as these guys do, it’s no surprise it goes down as well as a Mississippi Mud Pie!”

Alternative Ulster: “Sweet, simple, Dylan-influenced songs about drinking and the minutiae of life”

Americana-UK: “I was so impressed with ‘Sweetest Friend’ that I played it on my radio programme this morning before I’d got round to reviewing the EP for this site. 8/10”

Sounds XP: “If you’re into anthemic, bluesy rock then you’ll be hard pressed to find much better than this.”

cough cough...I would like to corially apologise to all member of your band who were there last night and heard that filth.....

I was sitting through 9 great singers and guitarists adn said 'Fuck it, I can't sing, might as well cover that up by trying to make people laugh'....I think it worked ok..

Ciaran was fantastic, those songs sounded class, it was a good old night like, not a bad wee spot, nice inside, might have to visit there more often...
