Nick Kelly

About Me

Join the Nick Kelly mailing list: Hes been described as A God by Hot Press Magazine, and his new album Running Dog as exquisite (Classic Rock), strong, surprising and intelligently written, one of the best this year (Americana-UK) and worth a hundred bloodless acoustic guitar-wielding crooners (Drowned In Sound).
Nick Kelly, award-winning singer and songwriter, is known both for his former life as frontman with acclaimed Irish band The Fat Lady Sings and as a defiantly independent solo artist. His second solo album, Running Dog is released on his own Self Possessed record label, and was nominated as one of the Irish albums of the year at the inaugural Choice Music Prize music critics awards March 2006. Running Dog has just been made available in online form for the first time via American indie label BOS Music (you can buy tracks on emusic, rhapsody and I-Tunes among others). You can also purchase the album (plus other Nick music) in CD form direct from his own Self Possessed Record store ( www.selfpossessedrecords.com ).
You can find out loads more about Nick at his own website www.nickkelly.ie .
