Jimmy Crowley & Eve Telford

Jimmy Crowley and Eve Telford are a folk duo based in Co. Cork, Ireland. Their first album is of new

arrangements of Child ballads learned from the singing of Irish Travellers. They also perform a variety of folk music, ranging from narrative ballads, parlour songs, and sean nos, as well as their own wide-ranging compositions. Jimmy Crowley has been a central figure in the Irish folk scene since the enthusiastic reception of his debut album The Boys of Fairhill in 1977. His latest album, Life, reveals him as a contemporary singer-songwriter. Australian-born Eve Telford is a powerful singer of traditional folk songs as well as her original compositions. She is also a poet and short-story writer. In her singing of traditional songs, one can sense her deep-seated connection to the old folk singers who have passed on.
