I was looking through my old albums the other day and ‘rediscovered’ the eponymous Brendan Keenan album.

A quick search on C&F haven’t thrown up anything about either this album or the man himself. Is he still playing?

I think he’s playing a harp these days.

You sure you don’t mean Brendan Ring, Rory?

You,re right in a way,I did make a mistake and I apologize for that. I was thinking of Johnny Keenan who sadly passed away in 2000 .

I haven’t seen Brendan in years. He used to pop into O’Donoghues with his nephew (Johnny that plays banjo) when Johnny (his brother) was still alive .

This is a nice clip of Johnny and Brendan together - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf_tVODld4A

Thanks for posting the link, Podge. I enjoyed that. Sadly, I heard recently that Jeri Keenan also passed away a little while ago.
