To ‘Blockheads’
You must have heard about John Kelly
Dury-inspired since a child.
Another Dead Rabbit was one of his first band,
In Abbeyfeale Rockinpaddy gigs turn wild!
He blasts through rock, punk, ska and his own,
And rock n roll given a chance.
Gigged in Memphis, Nashville, Germany, Greece,
Ireland, Poland, Russia and France.
He’s got a First in Education,
Passionate about young people, trains in equality.
He learned from the great Augusto Boal,
And the thoughts of Paolo Freire.
Was Programme coordinator at the Orpheus, Writes ‘n’ fights for inclusive youth work…
He’s vocal & loud, disabled & proud, you can spot him a mile off in crowds.
This is the first time he’s worked with Graeae
Worked on his Norfolk’s but those lemons are fast.
He’s a diamond geezer, with a Guinness and straw,
With him on board it’s gonna be a blast!
John Kelly! Oi oi!
Johnie Kelly! G’wan!
Bendy Kelly! Singer!
Kelly!. Oi Oi!
