Ken O'Malley
& The Twilight Lords The White
Seahorse
This O'Malley
studio album is also a mix of such traditional material as "Carrickfergus",
"The Siver Spear/Maid behind the Bar", and "Black
is the Colour" and original compositions like "The
High Wire Waltz", "The Sailor Song", "Better
Days" and the title track "THe White Seahorse"
- a salute to O'Malley's forebear, Grace O'Malley aka Graunaile,the
pirate Queen of 16th century Ireland.
Lush
arrangements include the talents of Ken O'Malley on acoustic
guitar, mandolin, Billy Watts, acoustic and electric guitars,
Tony Zamora on bass and Mexican guitaron, David Raven on drums
and percussion.
Guest artists
include Johnny Cunningham on fiddle, formerly of the Silly
Wizard band, Jerry Donohue on electric guitar, formerly of
Fairport Convention, Eric Riggler, reknowned uileann piper
featured in the movie Titanic.
Her original music combines elements of rock, alternative,
country and rhythmic funk. Her voice has been described by
Bernard Bauer of Music Connection Magazine as "...so
extraordinary that she can take you places you never expected
to go." Though petite, her presence on stage is commanding,
while her quick Irish wit and humorous commentary throughout
performances makes it a fun event for all involved.

to where it is today without the 'Session'. The session is
where musicians come together and play their music while having
a good time for themselves and for everyone else in their
company.
