John Kelly is a warm, funny, passionate musician with over 35 years’ live experience. He is a lover and a (non-violent) fighter for equality and human rights.

“I have been singing since I was 8, brought up with Irish music loving parents, and vinyl and cassettes all over the house, music has been my life. Musically, I am self taught. I started a band in my teens (Another Dead Rabbit) writing and gigging whenever and wherever I could. I took on the guitar, bass and keyboards and I’m pleased to say I’m still dodgy on them all”.

In spite of his modesty John has toured everywhere from Ipswich to Ipanema beach.

JK Gig Goers Access Pack

In the pack you can listen to an audio description of the band, find my songbook of lyrics for the gig and to see the beutiful EasyRead Lyrics in Picture insert that can be obtained when purchasing my album Better Late Than Never.

Please always go to the venues own official website for specific access information and arrangements. Our gig goers guide is meant as a complementary addition to improve the experience of coming to enjoy one of my gigs.

Whenever possible we do a quick rough cut video of what to expect when you get to my gig and we drop it into the pack usually a few hours before the gig (or sooner) so be sure to visit back then.
