New York is Irish musician Ken Griffin’s kind of town

"A LOT of people say that New York is a kind of salvation place for a type of person. I came here; felt very much at home almost immediately.”

Irish musician Ken Griffin has been living in New York for the best part of two decades now. During that time he has had a couple of periods playing with bands, such as Kid Silver and Favourite Sons, but he has been mostly getting by as a bar man.

“I’ve basically been owned by the New York night now for 20 years,” he quips.
