Vincent Jones Obit: Irish Singer Jonathan Kelly (1947-2020) (8) RE: Obit: Irish Singer Jonathan Kelly (1947-2020) 07 May 20


Very sad news.

He wrote some beautiful songs. I understand that he wrote "Rainy Town" about Dublin, but, in the same way that many people associate MacColl's Salford ballad "Dirty Old Town" with Dublin, Kelly's song reminds me of the twin cities of Salford and Manchester, where I come from.

His gig in the Lesser Free Trade Hall around 1973 was really special.
