A question of taste: Dirk Powell, musician

Dirk Powell is from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, and has family roots in the mountains of Kentucky.

He grew up playing the traditional music of those areas, the Cajun bayous and the Appalachian mountains, and has made that his life’s focus.

He plays the White Horse in Ballincollig, Cork, on Thursday, Jan 26, as part of the Winter Festival (Jan 24-29).
