Revision as of 14:00, 26 April 2009 by Zundark (talk | contribs) (use DEFAULTSORT)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Liam Kelly is an Irish musician. He is a native of Sligo and a founding member of the band Dervish.
Born into a musical family, Liam began playing traditional Irish music at a very young age. He started on the accordion but later switched to the whistle and in turn the flute, which he learned mainly from local player Carmel Gunning. He is a veteran of many musical competitions, at one of which he met Shane Mitchell. Their friendship lead to Poitin, a traditional group they formed while still at school. The group enjoyed a level of success and media attention, including several TV and radio appearances.
Liam's role in Dervish is a central one, as the band's core sound revolves around the tight and intuitive interplay between Flute, Accordion and Fiddle.
