Review: New York Herald, 10 April 1867, 6.

“Mr. Kennedy, the celebrated Scottish vocalist, has commenced a second season at Irving Hall, under the auspices of Mr. Harrison, and promises to meet with the same success as greeted him in Steinway Hall at his last appearance. His selection and rendering of the charming ballads of the land o’ the heather, and the amusing remarks with which he prefaces each will always find admirers here.”
