The High King are four top-class performers who have created this unique ensemble, re-energising the great Irish ballads and introducing exciting new songs from Ireland. Finbarr Clancy, Brian Dunphy, Martin Furey and Darren Holden, renowned vocalists and musicians, have come together to create the most exciting Irish ballad group to emerge since The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem electrified the worldwide folk revival of the 1960s.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

CLICK ON INDIVIDUAL THE HIGH KINGS PHOTOS TO GO TO THEIR OFFICIAL MYSPACE PROFILE

Martin Furey, who lives in Kilmoganny, Co. Kilkennny, is the son of the renowned Irish piper and singer, Finbar Furey. The musical tradition in the Furey family goes back two hundred years and multi-instrumentalist and singer Martin is proudly carrying on the musical legacy. Martin has played all over America and Europe as a solo artist and also as a duo called Bohinta with his sister Aine

Brian Dunphy, from Dublin, is the son of Sean Dunphy, who was a major star of the showband era in Ireland in the 1960s. Following in his father's footsteps, Brian has sung all over the world as a featured soloist with Riverdance. He was also one of the Three Irish Tenors, who performed successfully across America and this past summer he was the star vocalist at Doyle's Irish Cabaret in The Burlington Hotel in Dublin.

Darren Holden, from Mooncoin in Co. Kilkenny, began his career as a singer/songwriter and has written and performed with some of the world's top songwriters. Holden became a featured vocalist and toured the world with Riverdance for several years before landing the lead role of The Piano Man in the Broadway production of the Billy Joel Musical "Movin' Out"

Darren also toured the US, Canada, and Japan for three years with this highly successful show. He is now back in Ireland, and, coincidentally, he was just reengaging with Irish Folk Music when he was invited to join The High Kings.

Finbarr Clancy from Carrick-on-Suir, is the son of Bobby Clancy, who first made his name as half of a duo with his sister Peg. Later Bobby joined his brothers Liam, Paddy and Tom in The Clancy Brothers after Tommy Makem had split from the group. Finbarr, who is blessed with the rare Clancy charm, has played all over America with The Clancy Brothers and as a solo artist, but for the past four years he has been singing and entertaining in Boston and Shanghai.
