October 6, 2019So much fun!
We had John and Ian play for my 50th birthday party and it was absolutely perfect. Not only was the communication excellent, they arrived early and played and sang great music. We loved having them be a part of the celebration.

Booking information
Price range: $200 and hour
Gig length: 45 - 240 minutes
What to expect
You can expect a highly entertaining display of happy and joyous music. Audiences often sing and clap along to our songs of drinking and rebellion. Were an interactive band with the audience and have a lot of fun toasting and joking with the listeners.
About
John Kelly delivers a high energy Irish music performance. Playing guitar and singing enough material to play for 5 hours and includes about 100 songs, entertaing the most rowdy and bodacious crowd with songs of fighting, drinking, and sea shanties or can play a large variety of traditional slow and moving pieces with instruments or a cappella. John Kelly is well known in the Irish music community in San Diego.
Additional booking notes
I can play nearly any where there's room for me to set up, indoors, outdoors, land sea and air. I usually perform solo but sometimes and a person or two for good times. I use a Martin Accoustic/electric guitar and consider my self a bodhrani extraordinaire, singer and gentleman of distinctions.
