Songs From Last Year

If songwriting is a vocation, it's a late one for Doug Kinch. The Dublin writer penned his first song in his fifties, something which, as he says, took him completely by surprise. "It just blew in out of nowhere," he explains. "I came down after a broken night, my head buzzing with lines, and started writing. It wasn't a project. I'd had no intention - or expectation - of writing songs. It just happened." Two years on, his EP Songs From Last Year was released to showcase a selection of his songs. He's worked with established professional musician and composer Josh Johnston and the four tracks on the EP are sung by renowned Irish singer Carol Keogh.
