Holly Kirby

At the start of 2008 Holly had just passed her 17th birthday, but she had been composing music and songs, singing, and playing instruments for years, and had already established her highly-regarded YouTube channel.  During the early part of the year a wonderfully creative YouTube collaboration with talented lyricist Rob Burcham led to the release on YouTube of a rapid succession of highly-rated songs. From August 2008 onwards Holly began the acclaimed Simple Series, a collection of songs for which she writes the music and lyrics, plays the instruments, sings, and, to top it all, does the musical and video production. During 2009 Holly completed her exams (English Literature and German as well as music) and then decided to take a gap year before University. During the 2009-2010 gap year her targets were to broaden her songwriting experience, further improve her production skills, play as many live gigs as possible, release more videos, and record and release an album. So far she's achieving all her targets...

The Lady And The Past EP [Folk / Celtic / Other]

£3.49

From January to July 2008 a wonderfully creative seven month YouTube collaboration between Holly Kirby and lyricist Rob Burcham led to the release of a rapid succession of highly-rated songs, among them the superb Celtic ballad “Claddagh Ring”, and the soaring "Shine On." At the end of the year Holly was inspired to write the magnificent tale of "The Lady and The Past". In between Holly somehow found the time to record some great traditional songs and compose a quietly inspiring instrumental.
