Live@Lunch With K & D

The K&D’s, a dynamic duo who perform folk with a twist.
Another ‘wing’ of the trio Rare Birdz, Kieran Flannery and Desley Taylor join forces to deliver a mix of dark and sparkly originals and evergreen classics with folk, Americana, rock and blues influences.
Desley Taylor, an accomplished singer songwriter, writes all the original songs for Rare Birdz and recently completed a two-person musical called Love In a Major Minor which opens later this year at Project Contemporary Artspace (funded by WCC).
Kieran Flannery, guitar virtuoso and singer songwriter, writes original songs through personal life experience. Kieran has been lead guitar in working bands for more than twenty years (Taurus Run, Dainty Rumble, Flannelette Jett, MemTV Retro and a 60s tribute show). His rock-blues feel lends a delicious layer to Desley’s edgy, beautiful folk-noir playlist.
As part of Rare Birdz, Kieran and Desley have played a variety of venues and events for Illawarra Folk Club (City Diggers, Thirroul Rail Institute, Crown Street Mall) Illawarra Music Foundry (Live Stream event), Art House Café, Port Kembla summer sessions and private house concerts both local and Sydney-side.
They’ve also been part of a number of community events from Playing for the Firies in 2022, Project Gallery Artspace opening nights (2020 Remix & Still Life) and Laneways Live festival in the Crown Street Mall for WCC (2022) – and a video project “Rare Birdz & Other Animals” funded by a WCC Small Grant (during Covid).”
