The Music of Kevin KeeganYear produced: 2004
Kevin Keegan was an accomplished button accordion player who was born in County Galway. While he died in 1978, thanks to his friends and family some of his music survived him and made it on to this CD which was released in 2004.
"The Music of Kevin Keegan" is a collection of 19 songs collected from reel to reel and cassette tape recordings made by friends and family over the years. It is a great tribute to both the man and the music. This wonderful collection of traditional Irish tunes includes a recording of Adeste Fideles that was recorded on Christmas Eve in 1954 in a church in County Galway. It was an inpromtu performance by Kevin and was perhaps the only recording of Kevin Keegan's voice left in Ireland prior to this CD.
The liner notes that accompany the CD give a short biography of Kevin penned by fellow accordion player Joe Burke and are written in English and Irish.
