April 02, 2018 Performing is a privilege and one that I never take for granted. Songwriting is a passion, and to be able to take a stage anywhere and share my creations is such an honour. Thank you to the venues who book me and to all you fabulous people who come out to the […]
March 24, 2018 It truly was March Madness! The Kelly Girls performed in libraries, pubs and concert venues to huge crowds (all Irish, of course) to mark St. Patrick’s Day. We want to thank the venues for inviting us to play, and most of all, a big thanks to all the people that joined us […]

January 17, 2018 Dear Friends, I’ve been wanting to update my website for over a year now, and finally, we have lift-off.

A month away, somewhere in the world, where I can learn about a new culture, engage with locals, and write to my heart’s content. I selected Cape Town, SA rather intuitively.
