He enraptured dozens of souls over the course of three separate appearances at Electric Picnic this weekend, and Other Voices managed to catch David Keenan at his most transcendental.
Our own Pat Carty summed up Keenan's music: '“Not just another young lad with an acoustic guitar, Keenan is the sound of Tim Buckley and Brendan Behan arguing over a few jars a suspicious hand of cards, and Anthony Cronin and Jack Kerouac furiously try to scribble it all down.” Hyperbole, you might sneer, but David has proven me right several times since. He has grown into the character that he created - the tab-end tapping corner boy with the poet’s soul, peddling whispered street rumours filtered through the prism of the Sean-nós tradition.'
'Evidence of Living' - the final song to be played from Keenan's Friday night performance at Other Voices - is captured here, with all the magic of the moment retained.
