S07 E08 – Fiona Kennedy – Ceremony Singer, Songwriter & Independent Musician

Laura and Benny Show - Laura Redhead Benson

None other than Ed Sheran gets called out by Fiona Kennedy. As Fiona played Pairc Ui Chaoimh in 1985 to 60,000 Kris Kristofferson with just her guitar. Stick that up your jumper Ed.

Fiona Kennedy has a rich legacy and an evolving future. Winner of Screen Test, an RTE talent competition in the 80s. Saw Fiona go on to release 4 independent albums.

At the end of March 2024 Fiona self-produced show Natural Woman will debut at the Cork Arts Theatre. Inspired by women, Fiona is a woman who is both talented and inspiring in her own right.

Fiona gives us her full background in Wedding Music and how ceremonies have changed over her career. Great advice is given to those who want the traditional wedding march, to those who do not know what they want at all and how to strike a balance in the church.

Fiona's talent for songwriting is transferable to wedding ceremonies, as some songs may require a little tweaking. Tips for family and friends singing in the church too. As a wedding supplier we build many connections and Fiona shares some wonderful stories, singing across generations of weddings.

Award Winning in all her music endeavours, Fiona was awarded Wedding Singer of the Year in 2021. Fiona puts that down to the reviews from couples.

Fiona is also available for Drinks Receptions and highly recommended by Benny (and he is a tough cookie!).
