Review of Music in The Glen CD
SB Tribune 2005 Celtic Fire Irish Stepdancers
Video Interview with joHn  WSBT  22 Ways of Giving Annual Show

"The Kitchen's third CD,  A Pocketful Of Lint contains some of the best traditional Irish music there is - plus some great original tunes and songs. The musicianship is outstanding.  A thoroughly entertaining CD - just what you'd expect from one of the top Irish bands in the Midwest.  "
 
Al Kniola, The Back Porch, 88.1 WVPE Public Radio

"To hear Kennedy's Kitchen is to experience the heart of music, the culture of the songs being handed from musician to musician, the beauty of melody untouched by gimmick and the magic of this group of musicians coming together with one aim - to leave you, and them, breathless.  Then, on the the next song, they'll have you partying and dancing as never before.  One of America's best."
Tom Schaub, Entertainment Director      Michigan Irish Music Festival

This is a beginner/intermediate friendly session.  A good place for those who are interested in learning the music.    Lula's Cafe is located in South Bend, Indiana at the corner of South Bend Avenue and Edison (just south east of the campus of Notre Dame University).  If you are travelling from out of town for the session, send an e-mail to joHn@kennedyskitchen.com several days ahead of time.  For spur of the moment plans, call 574 329-0855)  We are there almost every Monday ...

Our musical home here in South Bend is
Fiddler's Hearth, the best family pub in north America.  It is home to all things Celtic, presenting fantastic food in a family friendly pub.  They bring in the best regional and national acts from the pure drop of Tommy Peoples and Danu to the rocking Celtic sounds of Gaelic Storm or the Fenians.  We usually play the Hearth twice each month, and joHn and Chris play a the second Sunday brunch.  (an incredible brunch!).  Our regulars knows to arrive early for a good seat and to plan on dinner and a show.
