Sons of famous musicians reign in US with ballad CD

AN Irish ballad group taking the US by storm will launch its music collection here this week.

The High Kings — featuring the sons of some of Ireland’s best known performers — will carry on the tradition of great Irish music when they unveil their new CD on Friday.

Finbarr Clancy, son of Bobby Clancy; Martin Furey, son of the renowned Irish piper and singer Finbarr Furey; Brian Dunphy, son of Seán Dunphy; and Darren Holden, who toured with Riverdance, are back on home soil this week rehearsing for their first US tour in April.
