Frank Kilkelly grew up in Castlebar,
County Mayo, Ireland. He learned his craft playing in countless pub
and house sessions in the west of Ireland. Traditional Irish music
and swing jazz are his two main influences and from '86 to '98 he played
with a string of popular acoustic groups whilst based in London.
Now resident in County Galway, he is still much
in demand for work both in
Ireland and abroad. He has worked with The Boys of the Lough,
singer and piper Christy O'Leary, button accordeonist Luke Daniels,
harmonicist Brendan Power, Irish singer Seán Keane, fiddle player
Seán Smyth and piano accordionist Alan Kelly, who features on the
soundtrack to Accompanying Irish Music on Guitar.
