A combination of Joni Mitchell and Enya with a quirky twist. :)
Isle of Wight musician Holly Kirby has been a gifted singer and musician and a creative musical composer from an early age. Her main instruments currently are the guitar, ukulele, piano and tin-whistle, although she has played others and hopes to learn more. She’s a natural and confident performer - she used that talent to great effect in a popular British TV show, appearing as Enya in front of an audience of millions, and earning congratulations from the great lady herself. Her work has also been commented on positively by other famous stars, including Alan Rickman (a particular favourite of hers!), and attracted a tweet from arch-twitterer (and film star) Ashton Kutcher!
Holly enjoys all sorts of music and is very open to new ideas and new sounds. In the last year much of her work has been an eclectic mix of Celtic, folk and pop music, to which she applies her own distinctive, clearly sung and often emotional sound. Holly is also a keen poet and artist, and many of her poems and songs have an almost interchangeable lyrical quality.
Holly especially enjoys performing music live, and as well as appearing on TV she has played her guitar and sang before crowds ranging in size from crowds of people while busking through to many hundreds in concert.
Holly has recently added impressive lyrical and video/musical production skills to her already shamelessly extensive talent list, and she intends to work hard at improving all her skills during the next year. In her gigs she plays her guitar Lady and sings a mix of originals, modern songs, and old traditional favourites, and sometimes performs some ukulele songs which often go down very well.
Holly is currently based in the Isle of Wight, England. If you would like Holly to play at your event, please send her a message or visit her website at http://www.hollykirbymusic.com.

Ditto on the video, you were GREAT, too bad you couldn't have done a couple more. I tried to buy/get the album but my paypal didn't work, I'll try again later. I bought something on ebay later and paypal worked fine, hmmm.
Great web site, Holly, nice photos, I have it bookmarked! Is there a music video anywhere of your performance with Amy, no doubt I'll do a little searching, anyway? Will you ever allow us to add your songs to our playlists, so that we may be able to help promote your music? I have posted some of your youtube videos, hopefully that helps.
Holly thanks for the add, Im learning the Claddagh Ring song while Im here in Iraq so I can sing it to my sister when I get home. She will most likely cry, cause of her daddy was Irish. Have a great weekend.
