Hosting Problems - Resolved!
As you may have seen, the Kelly website has had quite a few problems of late with the hosting servers we've been using. We've now moved the site to a better hosting solution which should put an end to all the down time we've been experiencing of late.

An Evening Without Kelly Groucutt...the day after
Well...what a fantastic night at the Robin 2 in Bilston. Artists and fans alike turned out in force from far and wide to celebrate the life of the late great Kelly Groucutt. A musical journey through Kelly's past right up to the present. Bands were reformed from Kelly's early days, like the Vibras. Former OrKestra band member Chris Tew got "Session 60" back together for one more time to do a couple of Kelly's favourite songs. Chris also did a solo spot then he treated the audience to a never heard before recording of Kelly recorded recently at Chris's "bedroom" studio. Then there was the family Groucutt...Chris, Steve, Robin and Jenny plus cousins and relatives (I'm really sorry I can't remember all the names). A real music family. Familiar songs from them included Dear Mama (where Mik joined them on violin), Poker and Do Ya. My highlight was Chris G doing one of his dads favourites - Vincent - it brought back lots of personal memories of Kelly for me and my family and was beautifully performed. There was lots of other talent on show on this special evening, too many to mention in this short piece. A big thank must go out to all who helped organise this wonderful event and The Robin 2, for all the hard work it takes to put on something like this. A special thank you must go to The Orchestra road crew who's work rate in getting all the artistes on and off stage was phenomenal - well done guys.
