| Adam Kelly and his father Henry Lawrence Kelly formed their duo, which they called Adam O'Henry in 1987. With a guitar, their two voices and their believe in themselves and their music they went to North of Spain where they sang on the streets. In the years 1988 to 1995 Adam and Henry travelled through Austria, Italia, Hungry, Spain, Sweden, Norway and other spectacular countries, singing on the streets. In the years 1988 to 1994 Adam O�Henry toured with The Kelly Family, warming up the audience and singing in the Kellys' breaks. In 1996 they had gained a big fan crowd and went on from the streets to music- and concert halls. In 1997 Adam started performing with his cousins in The Kelly Family. Henry was tired and felt too old to travel around. But in the summer 1999 at the Malm�-festival in Sweden, father and son made a comeback (with Angelo Kelly on the drums). He now lives in America. |
