After her online concert in 2021 as part of Drogheda Arts Festival, we are delighted to welcome Maria Doyle Kennedy and Kieran Kennedy back to Gerards Church this summer as part of our SOLO programme.

Polymath Maria Doyle Kennedy has sustained a varied and eclectic career in the Arts for more than 3 decades. Music is her first love and following time spent ín several bands she set up her own record label in 2000 and has released 11 solo albums to date. Maria’s most recent album “ Fire on the roof of Eden “ was listed in their albums of the year by the Irish Times and Hot Press described her as “ one of Ireland’s most accomplished vocalists and a national treasure”.

She collaborates in almost all her work with her husband Kieran Kennedy (her partner in life, music and many crimes) and together they are raising 4 sons.

Most recent acting roles include Birdy in KIN for which Maria won an IFTA.
