Due to a rare gap in The High Kings busy schedule leading up to the Dublin shows, Darren Holden was able to accept an invitation to go home to Kilkenny and perform with the Kilkenny Gospel Choir on Friday night.

The concert at St Mary’s Cathedral was a charity event for Cancer Care on Daffodil Day and the appearance of Kilkenny’s favourite son will have done much to make the event a success. Darren got a fantastic reception from his home crowd who were able to enjoy him performing with his keyboard, something he doesn’t get to do very much these days while The High Kings are enjoying such phenomenal success with the traditional music.
