If there were a special award for being multi-gifted, then Brian Kennedy would surely walk away with it.
A critically acclaimed singer/songwriter and proven radio/television presenter, he is now acknowledged as an author of considerable worth, having produced a series of short stories and two novels (with a third on the way) - not surprisingly, for a lyricist of his calibre.
Brian Edward Patrick Kennedy was born in Belfast on 12th October 1966 and raised on the Falls Road, one of six children.
Inexplicably drawn towards music, heading for London at 18, he toughed it out, making a breakthrough in 1990 with his debut record deal and release of The Great War of Words, from which the two singles Captured and Town, now classics, are eagerly demanded as part of the set list at all BK concerts.
As no-one tells a story better than the man himself, perhaps the lyrics of his new album, Homebird, hold the key.
Join Brian as he sings all the hits of his previous albums including tracks from his new album "Homebird" which was released in May 2006, tracks include "Go With My Heart", "Homebird" and Eurovision song "Every Song Is A Cry For Love".
