The launch of musician and singer/songwriter John Faulkner’s new book about his career in music, Storm in my Heart, will take place on October 11th at Kennys and all are welcome. The book will be launched by James Harrold.

This is a free ticket event but booking is required.

John Faulkner is a folk artist who lives in Kinvara, Co. Galway. He is a multi-instrumentalist, film composer, producer, singer and songwriter who has toured the world as a musician and shared the stage with some of the greats in Irish music.

About John’s memoir, Storm in my Heart:
For over six decades, John Faulkner has been at the heart of British and Irish music-making, as a singer, songwriter, composer, musician, producer and film-maker.

Storm in My Heart is John’s highly personal account of his life in music, from his childhood in wartime London, through his years in the English folk explosion and on to life in Ireland as a significant player in the traditional music scene. In a lifetime’s journey, he falls under the influence of Ewan McColl and Peggy Seeger, marries tempestuous singer Dolores Keane, and moves to County Galway where he brings his words and music to the world.

In this honest and witty memoir John recalls his work with Frankie Gavin, Alec Finn, John Prine and others, revealing the dark arts of the Irish music business while revelling in the freewheeling delights of a life devoted to performing. Storm in My Heart is a clear-eyed chronicle by one of Ireland’s finest artists.
