SAM KELLY’S STATION HOUSE – still funkin’ off them blues
With Arts Council/National Lottery funding and the brilliant work by Deadpan Film company, we have created a 10- minute film/documentary about Sam Kelly, his brother Fowokan George Kelly (a notable sculptor) and his son, DJ Skol Kelly (Godfather of hardhouse) and how they have, against many odds, established themselves in “The Arts”. The documentary is called “No Barricades” and features music from Sam Kelly’s Station House. The Kelly boys plan to tour this documentary around the UK, together with Q&A sessions and workshops… please keeping checking back for more news.
Fans across the World waited more than ten years for news of a new SAM KELLY’S STATION HOUSE album. “No Barricades” portrays the musical vibe and on-stage camaraderie of this established band – at times, showcasing the individual talents of each one of these accomplished musicians yet, within a heartbeat, reverting to a tight unit of exciting entertainment. The album acknowledges the great works of TW Henderson incorporating a selection of tracks from “The Wilderness Years” album. One of the most powerful tracks entitled “Black & White” has been captured on video. EXCITING NEWS: SAM KELLY’S STATION HOUSE brand new EP will be released in Autumn 2025 – full of original material.
