Darren Holden tells Geoff the story of The Streets of Kinsale.
The High Kings, Finbarr Clancy (Tipperary), Darren Holden (Kilkenny), Paul O' Brien (Laois) and Brian Dunphy (Dublin) release their third single ‘The Streets Of Kinsale’ on Friday 28th of April, taken from their forthcoming eighth studio album.
‘The Streets of Kinsale’ by The High Kings, featuring Steve Perry (Journey) was written and produced by Glen Power (The Script). A unique and fresh folk anthem featuring a trifecta of musical talents. It’s the telling of a true love story, its complexity and simplicity in equal measure, prevailing through the passing of time. All set in beautiful Kinsale, Ireland.
Securing the collaboration of iconic Journey frontman Steve Perry to both sing and produce the harmonies on the track with the High Kings was nothing short of inspirational. This partnership held special significance as it brought together two generations of music legends, melding the distinctive styles and creative energies of both parties.
