Songs for the apocalypse: Sam Outlaw “Who Do You Think You Are?”

Video Premiere: Niall Kelly “Promenade”

April 24, 2019 Jeremy Searle 0

This is the title track of Niall Kelly’s new album, out on May 24th.  From northern Ireland but based in London, Kelly has plenty of soul and a way with a song.  We like it.
