The Alan Kelly Gang
★★★★ “This is a party looking for a crowd” Irish Times
★★★★ Liverpool Sound & Vision
“Alan Kelly has done it again, along with his choice musical gang, with the release of their second album The Last Bell… the appeal of this new release seems endless.” Irish Music Magazine
“cleverly constructed and performed with vivid attention to the musical intricacies that abound within, the Alan Kelly Gang have added to that quality with a layer of inventiveness, imagination and ambition. It’s most definitely a winner.” Irish Music Magazine
“The Alan Kelly Gang manage to sound like a ceilidh band, a jazz combo, a first class session, and even a Fest Noz in full flight for the wonderful Hopvotte. To pigeonhole this as Irish traditional music is woefully inadequate, but that core is unmistakable, as is the band’s own distinctive and irrepressible sound” The Living Tradition
“one of the best Irish bands playing today” New York Irish Arts
“one of the best bands around” TradConnect
“The Last Bell is a thoroughly pleasing set – refined and exciting in all the right places” fRoots
“Energy is the word of the day when it comes to the Alan Kelly Gang. There are a fair few traditional Irish bands on the scene but the Alan Kelly Band really breaks out over many others because of the sheer energy they project into their tunes.” Fatea Magazine
