With over 15 years of dedication to the role, Kelly’s uncanny look and sound-a-like embodies Lennon’s voice, presence, and artistry with remarkable authenticity having the rare combination of the natural vocal timbre and vocal talent with the youthfulness and visual appearance of John Lennon – backed by a five-piece powerhouse band he presents an elegant journey through the brilliant music of Lennon (& McCartney), witness first-hand stories about Lennon’s catalogue all the way from Please Please Me to Double Fantasy with ten years of solo hits and a carefully selected collection of the undeniable B side favourites fans will love to hear.

A gifted musician with a longstanding background in drama and musical theatre, Kelly’s performance is deeply personal, shaped by a lifelong passion for The Beatles and a deep connection to Lennon and his songwriting. Talent is in the blood, hailing from a rich musical heritage his father, Tom Kelly, co-wrote iconic hits including, including Like a Virgin (Madonna), True Colours (Cyndi Lauper) amongst others.

This captivating production is a sophisticated homage to one of music’s most enduring icons, making it a must-see event for all John Lennon and discerning Beatles fans alike and lovers of timeless songwriting.
