“Kilkelly did something special with this debut. 8/10″ – Plattentests

“Colorful, very club or pub-suitable mixture of folk, songwriter and blues sounds. Humour … Irish anecdotes and vignettes characterize the picture. Vocals are worthwhile listening to, with beautiful arrangements” – Folker

Famous Gold Watch Records

As of June, 2019, Kilkelly has joined a collective of independent musicians to help found Famous Gold Watch Records, Berlin. Acts such as Rufus Coates and Jess Smith, also part of Berlin’s thriving Dark Folk scene, have joined in an effort to work along side each other, promoting, marketing and collaborating – releasing their works under a new label, and under this new climate of music distribution, together.

Debut Album

In September, 2018, Kilkelly and band entered The Famous Gold Watch Studios in Berlin to make a totally independent, debut album, “The Prick and The Petal”. It will be a completely crowd-sourced project, to ensure the music remains as unspoiled and as close to the artistic vision as possible– free of corporate influence and populous pressures. For a more in-depth look into the project’s progress, or to become a patron click here. The album is set for release September, 2019.

Yes, I've run out of pictures... Save the date, Berliners! Joined by the immeasurably talented Felix Buchner and Tobias Tinker - plus a few surprises. New live song, "Fionn's Lament" - murder ballad, of all things. Was able to sneak at least one onto the new album - here's a taste of it performed live and solo. This one's about homophobia and origin of hateful words, and myths.
