Paddy Kelly [Brother John Paul Mary] (b. 5 December 1977)

Folk/Traditional Soloist

Paddy Kelly is a member of the Kelly Family and was born in Dublin, Ireland. He plays guitar, piano, keyboards, percussion, bass, harmonica, penny whistle, and congas.

Together with his sister Kathy Kelly, he produced most of the albums of the Kelly Family, starting with the most successful one, "Over the Hump", in 1994. In 2003, he published a solo album called "In Exile". In 2004, he surprised the fans by starting to study theology and moving into a covent in France where he eventually became a monk in 2008, taking on the name Brother John Paul Mary. Since then, he has performed a few times on catholic festivals, but never again together with his family,although he is on good terms with them. Videos of his performances can be found on youtube.

Cover the Road ( , DVD) 2003

Featuring Angelo Kelly (non-treble) Paddy Kelly (non-treble)
"This is a strange little movie. It's partly a road movie. It's partly a documentary. It's partly a backstage pass. It's strange little movie that takes a look at an extraordinary group of people - The Kelly Family. It's a strange little movie shot during the course of their winter tour of 2002/2003 on the roads of mainland Europa through Germany, Holland and Belgium. It's a strange little movie about life, about love, about loss...about the future. Actually, mostly it's a movie about the future, about the road ahead, about the next concert, about the next song...about the music. In fact above all it's about the music, because this is the Kelly Family and first last and always it's about the music."
