Jamie McMenemy - The Road to Kerrigouarch

A founding member of the Battlefield Band, Jamie McMenemy has continued to influence modern Celtic music with his distinctive vocals and bouzouki, mandolin, and cittern playing. Since moving to Brittany in 1979, McMenemey has served as frontman for two groundbreaking Celtic bands: Breton-based traditional folk band Kornog, from 1981 to 1987, and Belgium-based Celtic/Balkan band Orion since 1987. The Road To Kerrigouarch was the first solo LP by Scottish folk singer Jamie McMenemy. The album was released in 1981 soon after he left the Battlefield Band.
