Dudley Kane - Darach Ó'Cathain - is here in Leeds
|
Dudley Kane and Darach Ó'Cathain were the same person. Darach Ó'Cathain was—in the early 60s—an influential folk singer with a growing reputation in Ireland. But in 1963, as Dudley Kane, he moved his family to England. Although he continued to have something of a musical career in Ireland, Darach earned his living in the rough and tumble of the construction industry. He died there in 1987. This program follows the family's journey and their dislocation through the eyes of Darach's seven children and their mother Brid. It contains archive and home recordings of Darach singing.
