Joseph Kilhane is a
folk poet, lyricist and musician currently living in South
London. He attends a thriving entertainers (folk based) club in
Surrey and can regularly be found in the spotlight there
delivering a witty punch-line or two. For Joe, there is
inspiration everywhere. Drawing from themes both serious and
lighthearted, Joe weaves words to tell truths in a style that
is charming and smile inducing. Renowned for his quirky style
and occasionally risque subject themes, his poems and songs
are well loved by those who share his passion for music and
verse. Of the amateur verse and music scene he says: -
"Go to England, Ireland or any country
you can think of where the outpourings of human imagination
and creativity are valued and you will find the place awash
with people who have a natural talent to
entertain."
An ongoing love of Irish music, landscapes,
culture, and people inspired Rhymes from Rural Ireland which
also is delivered in best Irish accent and with tongue firmly
in cheek. It's a risky venture but in the name of fun and
versatility it's one he's pulled off pretty well!
He says: "These tales, are for the most
part, based on true anecdotes- though I've enclosed the odd
spoof for those who like a little fantasy with their realism!
Mainly I've tried to capture some of the humour and the
special ways of looking at life that are uniquely
Irish".
