NEW YORK, NY. (Top 40 Charts/ Manhattan Records) - An all-new music special featuring the most exciting Irish ballad group to emerge since The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem electrified the worldwide folk revival of the 1960s. The High Kings take some of the classic ballad repertoire from the past and mix them with new and exciting modern songs in the folk idiom. The engaging four-man singing group - Finbarr Clancy, Martin Furey, Brian Dunphy, and Darren Holden - is well on its way to becoming the hottest folk and ballad act of the new millennium, seeking to reinvigorate and reenergize the songs we all know and love and put them back in the forefront of the Irish experience, at home and abroad. The music reflects a wide range of moods, from the rousing "Rocky Road to Dublin" to the haunting strains of "The Parting Glass" to the irresistible sing-along cheerfulness of "The Wild Rover." Tune in to the world premiere of The High Kings on WTTW/11 is Sunday, January 13 at 5:30 p.m.
