Niall Kelly
Immersion in London’s blues scene helped establish this affable Northern Irishman as a songwriter of focus and expression, channelling Celtic warmth wrapped in melodic dexterity and lyrical perception. Music that melds folk and country with the blues, in 2017 it attracted the ear of The Beautiful South’s Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott who booked Niall’s band on a sold out, national Irish tour - something of a homecoming for this son of Derry who had moved across the water!
May 2019 saw the release on Glovebox Records of the Special Edition of NOT SLEEPING, a 2CD digipak release containing both of Niall’s self-released band albums (Not Sleeping and Hand In Fire).
