A
Biography Part Two...
The Millennium brought a new energy and if the 90's had been momentous
years for Brian, then the next few were to prove legendary.
Brian has frequently expressed his insatiable desire to explore "othernesses"
- to take risks, cross unknown boundaries and face up to new challenges
both in his art and life. This became a reality in 2000 with an unpredicted
turn in his musical journey - Brian was offered, and accepted, the role
of lead singer in the renowned 'Riverdance on Broadway' show.
September 2004 - Brian's long-awaited novel 'The Arrival of Fergal Flynn'
came hot off the press, to jump straight into the Irish Best Book List
at No.3.
Brian had been chosen to perform Ireland's entry for the Eurovision Song
Contest in Athens, Greece in May 2006! In the calm that inevitably follows
an impact of this magnitude, it is fair to say that given Brian's known
skills for beguiling audiences regardless of age, status or nationality,
it doesn't really take the know-how of a veteran gambler to bet the odds
will be in favour of this Belfast lad to win; the other certain bet being
that he won't be standing there alone when his loyal, determined fans
from all over the world join him in spirit, their positive intentions
directed towards him from here-on to the great day.
The old year is ended and it's on with a brand new year. At the start
of 2006 Brian Kennedy's star is shining brightly indeed and it appears
that the label of 'a voice to charm the angels' bestowed on him by many,
is well justified. |
