Kellys Heroes

The rich sound provided by the button accordion, powerful rhythm guitar and bodhran give a fullness of sound that belies the number of people on stage.With a repertoire that encompasses fast and furious Celtic songs and tunes, gentle ballads, quality contemporary numbers as well as some original material, this Nottingham-based band are one of the most sought after on the circuit.Most gigs are undertaken as a three-piece band but when playing for ceilidhs they always bring along a caller who works wonders at getting people involved in fun, easy traditional dances.When required, the band is sometimes augmented by other top-quality musicians, playing fiddle, highland pipes and whistles. These players have all been involved with Kellys Heroes for a number of years, but since they are independent working musicians, their appearance with Kellys depends on availability for the date of the event.
