The High Kings are the most exciting Irish ballad group to emerge since The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem electrified the worldwide folk revival of the 1960s. Taking classic ballad repertoire and re-arranging them into exciting modern songs in the folk idiom, The High Kings are poised to become the hottest folk and ballad act of the new millennium. The four members of The High Kings are all top-class performers, each bringing a different vocal sound to the palette. On their self-titled debut, the songs themselves reflect a wide range of moods, from the rousing “Rocky Road to Dublin” to the haunting strains of “The Parting Glass” to the irresistible sing-along cheerfulness of “The Wild Rover.” The musical director is the highly acclaimed David Downes, of Celtic Woman and formerly the musical director of Riverdance. He brings intricate harmonies and driving rhythms to The High Kings’ songbook, giving them a freshness and sparkle that is infectious.
