A traditional Irish folk and ballad band, The Kilkennys are noted for their dynamic arrangements, energetic performances and charismatic rapport with audiences across the globe. They manage to uphold the Irish Folk/Ballad tradition with a contemporary style. The Kilkennys features Davey Cashin (vocals, mandolin, banjo, guitar, whistles), Tommy Mackey (bass, acoustic guitar, vocals), Robbie Campion (banjo, guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Mick Martin (bodhran, uilleann pipes, low whistles, guitar, vocals).
