Barry Kinane is a songwriter from Ballyknockan, Co. Wicklow.
While in rock band Glyder, he toured all over Europe and opened for international acts like Metallica and Thin Lizzy while releasing two albums with European rock label SPV/Steamhammer/Sony BMG.
Kinane’s interest in local history and original music were married together as he continued writing after Glyder split in 2010. A turn in musical direction saw Kinane winning the prestigious Sean McCarthy Ballad writing competition in Listowel, Co. Kerry in 2014. This was followed up with release of “The Hills above the Valley" in 2015, a collection of musical stories of his home village Ballyknockan, Co. Wicklow which was acclaimed in Irish music magazine.
“Kinane has a rare gift of taking the stories of life and relatively recent history to weave magical musical tales that are like short stories of the highest quality...” Nicky Rossiter – Irish music magazine
