Jody McKenna - The North Wind

“One of the most anticipated folk albums of 2010 ‘The North Wind’ is an acoustic masterpiece delivered
by one of the most humble and honest poets of our generation. This album shows that the family tree of
folk music still has room for new branches.”

Jody McKenna emerged from the national youth music project British Urban Collective at The Warren in Hull in 2008. Since then Jody has honed in on his craft both live and recorded selecting the best of these sessions for his debut album.
