about

Tony Floyd Kenna is a songwriter/musician/performer/producer from Ireland.

'On May 24th. 1966 Bob Dylan turned 25 and played electric at the Olympia in Paris.

On May 25th. 1966 TFK reached 8 years old. Truly ‘The times they were a changin’. It would be a few years before I actually discovered Bob but the door he opened for us all was there waiting. In the Summer of 1974 I was 16, earning money, discovering Led Zepplin, The Beatles, Quo, David Bowie, Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd, George Harrison, Free, Yes, Uriah Heap and most particularly… Eric Clapton and of course Bob. It was easy to imagine following in their footsteps..yep, an idle dream but dreams look very achievable when you’re 16!....'

Alison (Words & music by Tony Floyd Kenna)

Alison sits on the bridge
Her hair un brushed,
Her clothes unwashed
Feeling tired and feeling hungry
Her eyes show little hope

‘You have to move along now’
Says the man from the council
‘You can’t be in public view
Or the newspapers will see you’

So, She shuffles down the street
Cold, beyond unwanted
Looking for a corner
Where the World, won’t find her

Alison,
Daughter of our Nation
Alison,
Sister to us all
Alison,
Why does nobody want you?
Alison, Alison,
Don’t cry.

Alison tries to get some sleep
Wrapped in cardboard boxes
Her boots have holes, you can see her feet
I wonder, will she make it?
