Born in Birmingham, England, Kevin Crawford’s early life was one long journey into Irish music and Co. Clare, to where he eventually moved while in his 20’s.
He was a member of Moving Cloud, the Clare-based band who recorded such critically-acclaimed albums as Moving Cloud and Foxglove, and he also recorded with Grianán, Raise The Rafters, Joe Derrane and Sean Tyrrell and appears on the 1994 recording The Sanctuary Sessions.
Kevin now tours the world with Ireland’s cutting edge traditional band, Lúnasa, called by some the “Bothy Band of the 21st Century,” with six ground breaking albums to their credit; Lúnasa, Otherworld, The Merry Sisters of Fate, Redwood, The Kinnity Sessions and Sé.
A virtuoso flute player, Kevin has also recorded two solo albums, D’Flute Album and the more recent In Good Company.
Kevin teaches regularly and performs as a soloist or in duo's and trio's featuring; Cillain Vallely (pipes), James Cullinan(fiddle), Tony Linnane(fiddle) and Mick Conneely(bouzouki and fiddle).
