About the show
A St. Patrick’s Day Special with:
Folk Album of the Year 2025 Winner: Barry Kerr
We want to offer massive congratulations to Barry Kerr on winning the inaugural Folk Album of the Year Award! He was announced as the winner on St. Patrick’s Day 2026 and it is entirely appropriate that he should visit Grayshott Folk Club exactly a year later to celebrate both his award and St. Paddy’s Day.
Barry Kerr is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and visual artist whose creative work expresses the very heart of Irish life. Originally from the southern shores of Lough Neaghin County Armagh, Barry now lives in Connemara, he has enjoyed a long and successful career as a touring artist and has shared a stage with some of the greatest performers in Irish music.
Barry is an acclaimed composer and was awarded the prestigious Liam O’Flynn award from the National Concert Hall and the Arts Council in 2020. He subsequently released ‘Cairn’, an album of original compositions.
One of Ireland’s most distinctive musical voices, Barry’s work is deeply rooted in place — shaped by the lough he grew up beside, the communities that raised him, and the stories he feels compelled to pass on.
You can watch the whole award ceremony, broadcast live from Rochdale Town Hall on 17th March 2026 here:

Barry performs two songs from his album: “She Knows Things” at the beginning of the ceremony, and as the winner at the end "You Rambling Boys of Pleasure"
