Isle of Wight singer-songwriter Holly Kirby completed her final school exams on June 18th 2009, and is now taking a musical gap year between school and university. Holly has accepted a place for 2010 studying Creative Music Technology  at the University of Surrey, where, in the words of the course, she will learn from leading industry practitioners including Oscar, Emmy and BAFTA winners. Meanwhile, she intends to learn as much as possible out in the real world, and has already played lots of public gigs and private functions, and many more are planned.

Before that, previous events include one, on December 19th 2008 at Southampton Guildhall, where she played "Poison Prince" as a guest with Amy MacDonald - you can read about it on the Interviews page..

Holly is very keen on playing more gigs, and is putting the money raised from the gigs towards the production of a CD of her music. As well as her originals, Holly can play a wide selection of cover songs. Here's an example set list from a recent gig, containing a selection of cover and original songs, although Holly can perform many others. (Here's Holly singing Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell!). In her gigs she plays Lady her guitar, and sings a mix of originals, modern songs, and old traditional favourites, and sometimes performs some ukulele songs which go down very well.
