San Diego Folk Heritage presents Los Angeles-based Irish singer-songwriter Ken O’Malley. At the age of 15, O’Malley opened for legendary balladeer Paddy Reilly at the equally legendary Old Sheiling Pub in Dublin. By the time he turned 18, he was gathering professional credits, among them a stint with Trudy's People, a group he formed that played Gaelic shows on RTÉ, Ireland's national radio and television network. Since arriving in Los Angeles from Ireland over 30 years ago, O'Malley has performed solo and as part of The Mulligans, Blended Spirits and, currently, the Twilight Lords. He's shared bills with such artists as Mary Black, the Chieftains, the Saw Doctors, Michael Flately, and Pierce Brosnan.
