Harry Kelly

Deepest sympathies to the Kelly family on the passing of Harry. I had the pleasure of working closely with Harry especially when I was working on my compositions. He taught me so much about brass band music. He was a wonderful musician, conductor, teacher,raconteur and so enthusiastic and supportive. He made an immense contribution to brass and wind band music throughout Ireland. And not forgetting that lovely lilting Scottish accent. May he rest in peace.

Condolences to all the Kelly family on the death of your father Harry, a wonderful conductor that I had the privilege to be part of the Ardee Concert Band under his baton. Rest in peace now.
