Last monday evening on the 5th September 2005, I had the pleasure of seeing Jonathan Kelly live in concert once more at the Sal in Doncaster and I was not disappointed. On the contrary his performance was magnificent and he played for over two hours before his return to the stage was demanded by a small but vociferous audience.
Two encores and three quarters of an hour later he finally left the stage for the last time after delivering one of the best live perfomances I can ever recall. He played all the old favourites and new songs too in a repetoire that covers the whole spectrum of popular music from pure op to folk from blues to soul and often too some rock and roll. His stage presence is immense and he seems to be going from strengh to strength right now with talk of a series of gigs and a new album forthcoming.
Perhaps, at long last, the living legend that Jonathan Kelly is, might   become the household name that his music so richly deserves.
