Here's what the INDY AWARDS had to say:
"Last year (2007) 218 artists were nominated out of an estimated 40,000 who played at participating venues. We believe strongly as does the industry, in the importance of 'live' performance. The INDY Music Awards identify the top.. artists currently on the live music circuit. To be nominated for an award is a major achievement in itself and we invest a considerable amount of time and resource in highlighting the awards, participating promoters and venues and the nominated, shortlisted and winning artists to the public at large and the music industry in general.
The credibility and sustainability of the awards are directly related to the quality and future success of the artists we help identify, reward and promote."
Thank you to the Promoters that nominated me, Thank you to the Indy Awards for highlighting my music and Most importantly, Thanks for voting! I owe you a pint...at least! ;)
Here's some Quotes from people in the music business that have seen me live:
" Captivating and enchanting, beautiful both as an artist and as a person. Kal sings straight to your heart and leaves you breathless. Without a doubt the one to watch "
Dani – London Unplugged Promoter
" Easily the strongest Female singer song writer since KT Tunstell!!
Kal Lavelle Has landed! "
Chris - Musicborn Promoter
"I did a very brief review of Kal Lavelle back in February when she performed “Disaster†at a gig that I was covering. I was very impressed with the musical power of this London based girl from Ireland on that occasion, and was even more moved by her full set. She did that song again, along with another intense love song which held the full attention of the audience with its emotion. She also showed her lighter side with the rockier “Hope†and upbeat “Singâ€. An impressive performer!"
Peter Coulston - Reviewer for www.seatwave.com
" Kal Lavelle’s honest effortless voice compliments her great energy on stage with an engaging performance – so easy to get caught in her passion… a truly brilliant performer "
Natalie - Feed The Monkey Promoter
" One of the best live acts we've had at our venue, real star quality, looking forward to having her back "
Ric - Venue Owner of JRINK in Soho
" Not only is Kal Lavelle a great guitar player and very cool vocalist, her songwriting is powerful and clever with lyrics that reflect her unique perspective. I'm keeping my eye on her....I suggest any music lover with a fondness for innovative songwriting do the same. She's definitely one to watch "

KAL LAVELLE BIO
Here’s just a quick mention of some things I've done over the last few yrs:
*Winner 2FM (Irelands National Radio Station) Song Contest 2001:
"The idea behind the competition is to find Ireland's most talented singer/songwriter and has been running for 25 years now. Previous winners include the recent Meteor Award winner Laura Izibor(signed to Jive Records), David Geraghty from Bell X1(Island Records) and Naimee Coleman(EMI) to name but a few!"
My song “KATE â€was playlisted on 2FM, I won 5000 pound worth of YAMAHA equipment and I appeared on National television as part of the prize.
*Toured as a musician in Michael Flatleys "Feet of Flames" in America.
*Here are some of the Big supports I've done:
JAMES BROWN: (After the gig I got to meet him, AMAZING!! He signed my guitar, had a nice chat with him, there’s a picture of us in my 'Pics' section on my page)
THE BEACH BOYS: (Minus Bryan Wilson, but with his cousin Mike Love and some other original members) They put on a great show, the harmonies were Staggering!!
PADDY CASEY: Signed to Sony/BMG
I've also played the Bud Rising Festival, a large event in Ireland.
I’ve most recently been nominated by 3 Promoters to win the INDY MUSIC AWARDS in the Solo act category (voting ends the 31st March ‘08) Winners announced at the end of April!
I’m going to be recording an E.P this year which will then be available on the web and at my shows.
