Hennessy: anniversary album & statue planned

Christie Hennessy, the Irish singer-songwriter who died last December, will have an album of new material released on October 31.

To coincide with its release, a life-sized statue of Hennessy will be erected in his memory in his home town of Tralee.

Hennessy’s new album will be entitled A Friend of Mine and it contains vocal performances recorded by him in the last months of his life, and songs that he was in the process of writing or had put on tape for future use.
