HUGH KELLY – NEW RELEASES

Delighted to announce that ‘Sleeping On Your Own’ will be released on Fri 4 December 2020.

All the new songs will be released on the usual platforms, Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, etc – so take your pick.

Lastly, a big thanks to all of you who have supported my music over the last 4-5 years. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy the upcoming releases & I’d very grateful if you could give the songs a listen when they’re released. Feel free to let me know what you think on Facebook, Twiitter, Instagram or through the contact form on here!

Hugh Kelly Since 2016….

Since releasing his first single & subsequent EP in Feb 2016, Hugh has performed over 500+ gigs around UK. He’s toured from the south coast of England to as far north as the Shetland Islands in Scotland. Highlights being performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the BBC and Scottish Television (STV).

In his short 4-5 year music career, Hugh has featured extensively in national press, radio interviews and music blogs. This has lead to him being featured as Artist/Single of the Week on numerous radio stations throughout UK and in the USA

Last 12-18 Months….

In terms of releases in the last 12-18 months, Hugh released his second EP in May 2018  from his live performance at Sofar Sounds earlier in the year.  The EP tracks can be heard on Hugh’s Spotify account along with previous releases.

Summer of 2019….

Hugh had a busy summer in 2019, particularly in August where he had over two dozen performances lined up, a dozen of which were at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Hugh spent the first week of September in the recording studio with Mark Morrow, finalising 5 new tracks. The first of these tracks will be released in Jan/Feb 2020. The other four tracks will be released every 6-8 weeks from late-March through to the end of July/August 2020.

Once again, Hugh performed a couple of gigs at the Dunhill Links Championship in St. Andrews late September 2019. On the final night, he was caught on camera singing ‘The Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond’ with Hollywood actor, Bill Murray!
