Folk & Traditional

Eamon Friel is from Derry in Northern Ireland. In the year 2000 he issued the album “Word of Spring”. It received a great deal of critical praise and substantial radio play particularly in Britain on programmes like BBC Radio 3’s “Late Junction”. Two of the songs were covered by Sean Tyrell and Bill Jones. “I was encouraged by its reception”, says Eamon. “So much so that I am writing the best songs of my life at the moment. I am a three song a year man if I’m lucky but I seem to have hit a purple patch of late”.
