  • Summary

  • My guest today is Nick Kelly, singer songwriter, film director, copywriter, and advertising creative, all of which you can add award-winning to the front of and things like;

    Best Solo male artist at the Irish Music Critics Award, Oscar Shortlisted filmmaker, Cleo Winning Creative, and to quote Hot Press Magazine. “A God, a songwriter of such passion and beauty as to transcend mortal.”
    I first met Nick in the early nineties when the band I was in at the time were lucky enough to support The Fat Ladies. Sings on an Irish tour of clubs and colleges.

    Since then, he's continued making music as a solo artist, with alter ego Alien Envoy and more recently with Sean Miller performing under the name Dogs. In this podcast, Nick talks about playing and touring with bands, cycling the Glastonbury, the potential millions to be made from his father's coin collection, forensic Lego archeology, his mother's anti photography photograph amongst many other things, all told with a sharp wit, and a dry sense of humor. I've included some of Nick's music at the end, including some gorgeous solo piano versions of Arclight and Dronning Maud Land, which he recorded on Facebook Live in a sitting room during lockdown. There's also a brilliant short track called Resolution by Alien Envoy, and one of his latest with Dogs called Old Dog, Young Dog, along with links his various creative outputs like that brilliant Guinness ad with Michael Fassbender and a Barry's Tea one, which I had no idea was one in Nick's.
