Yesterday on The Celtic Star we brought you a brilliant Q&A with Glasgow based Irish folk singer songwriter Danny Kelly. If you missed it you can check it out here again it really is well worth a look…
Well Danny promised the Celtic Star readers an exclusive and original recording to get the Glasgow Derby weekend started with a sing song and he has delivered on that promise. Danny today recorded for us a brilliant version ‘Over and Over’ for you all to enjoy.
Let’s hope it’s the perfect start to a winning weekend for the Bhoys.
The Celtic Star is trying to support the many musicians who have their ability to play live and in turn make a living severely constrained by the current Lockdown. With social media sites such as Facebook also restricting live performances it seems as soon as one door shuts another slams in your face for Scotland’s musicians.
When you consider many of these artists supplement their income with jobs in the hospitality trade the current Lockdown can mean a double whammy on their incomes with no let-up on the bills that have to be met and mouths that need to be fed.
You can support Danny by buying something from is website. Check out all his CD’s and merchandise HERE.
You can also help support Danny through these incredibly tough times for musicians by going through his Paypal tips jar by following this link. Ff you enjoyed the music drop a few quid into the Paypal link, it all goes straight to the artist.
