Drop in a bag of foodbank shopping and get a drink for a quid!
What happens when you take one part Zutons, one part Coral and four parts rock n roll? The Viper Kings happen, that’s what. We'll be welcoming them to Smithdown to get the party going for the weekend as they perform a range of high octane blues and rock'n'roll! Two of the biggest indie bands of the noughties, right here at Kelly’s. Awesome.
An enigmatic musical chameleon”. “A walking Jukebox”. “A dodecahedron in a square peg”. These are all quotes that could’ve been used to describe The Mighty Mojo as a Dj. If he’d paid them enough. But he didn’t. Sufce to say while you won’t always be bowled over by his dexterity behind the wheels of steel, the quality of tunes will have you stuck to the danceoor as he breezes through rock, hip hop, electro, reggae, soul, funk, and pretty much everywhere in between.
Liverpool music scene legend Edgar “Summertyme” Jones has been in more successful bands than most people can count on two hands. From collaborations with the likes of Sean and Candie Payne, to Ocean Colour Scene and Ian McCulloch, he’s been there, done that and he’s still wearing the tshirt and peacoat to prove it. Very excited for this.
Formed by ex-Peter and The Wolf singer Marc Sunderland, this psychedelic folk rock ve piece have their debut album due for release on Guy Garvey’s Skinny Dog Records label later this year. Catch em while you can...
A high octane pop punk trio with comparisons from Buzzcocks to Supergrass. Expect punchy riffs and earworm pop hooks aplenty.
Expect drum machines, delay and space age guitar from the debut performance of this ‘garage-kraut’ duo.
STRANGERS 4.45PM
THOMAS McCONNELL 3.00PMAn electric sound inuenced by rock n pop of the 20th century, they’ve played with all the scouse greats, and even Macca’s a fan!
MON 4Th MAY KELLY’S BAZAAR1.00PM-7.00PM (QUIZ STARTS 9PM)
Much like a traditional market, expect to nd a truly diverse range of the best independent wares the region has to offer: arts n crafts / textiles / vintage clothes / vinyls / food / books....you get the idea. Plus a DJ playing all afternoon.

Punky folkster Katy has been getting plaudits from all who catch her set. Imagine Laura Marling meets Gogol Bodello meets Green Day and you’re kinda close. Sort of. Ish.
Punk frontman turned acoustic, Carl’s vitriol-fuelled folk has drawn many comparisons to a Mr Frank Turner. And rightly so.
4.00PMDAVE OWENA modern day troubadour, Dave Owen will serenade and entertain you with tales of hardship, despair and addiction in true Old Western outlaw style. Someone grab the whisky, stat.
