The track is released as part of a collection of his current back catalogue and available now to stream in full – The collection precedes Kennedy’s debut album which is set for release later this year. 

‘For Island Fires and Family’ has long been a live favourite of Kennedy’s but only now is it getting it’s official release via the incredible new video directed by Brendan Canty (Hozier – ‘Take Me To Church’).
