Tracks of My Life with Joe Kenny

Tracks of My Life is a show on RNIB Connect Radio presented and produced by Toby Davey where he invites a guest to take us on a journey through their life, sharing the tracks that mark important moments which bring back memories to them.

 

Their chosen tracks of their life might include the first track they can remember hearing, the first track they bought, a number of tracks that mark moments in their life and the final track, a track that they would like to pass on which might give people hope for the future.

 

In this trimmed down podcast version of Tracks of My Life Toby is joined by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist  Joe Kenny from County Armagh in Ireland. 

 

For about 20 years now Joe  has been gigging around Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales. 

 

Through Joe’s chosen tracks we are taken on a journey from family car trips as a boy listening to folk music on cassette tapes, time playing in bands while at Jordanstown School for visually impaired children, going to rock gigs as a blind teenager to some of those tracks that have inspired Joe as a musician over the years.

   

You can catch the hour-long version of Tracks of My Life with Toby’s guest’s music tracks in full by tuning in to RNIB Connect Radio every Tuesday at 7pm, repeated on Thursday at 1pm and Sunday at 8pm.
