Back in 1978 Kelly Johnson (Lead Guitar/Vocals) and Denise Dufort (Drums) joined a South London all girl covers band called PAINTED LADY and in April 78 along with Enid Williams (Bass/Vocals) and Kim McAuliffe (Rhythm Guitar/Vocals) they changed the name to GIRLSCHOOL. In December 78 Girlschool Released their first single ‘Take it All Away’ on the independent ‘City Records’ label. After touring with Motorhead on their OVERKILL tour in the spring of 79 Girlschool later that year signed with Motorhead’s label ‘Bronze’. The following years saw Kelly and Girlschool release 4 albums and numerous singles. In February 81 Girlschool and Motorhead as HEADGIRL released the Classic ‘St Valentine’s Day Massacre EP’ which went silver and reached Number 5 in the UK charts. The Album ‘Hit & Run’ also released in 81 reached Number 5 in the UK album charts and went Gold in Canada. Girlschool also had a sell out UK tour and headlined the Friday night of the Reading Festival in 1981. During this time Girlschool played gigs and toured with Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Rush, Motorhead, Iron Maiden and the Scorpions, Deep Purple amongst others and played all over Europe, Canada, the USA and Japan. After the tour of Japan in 1982 Enid left and Gil Weston joined the band. In 1984 after recording the bands 4th album 'Play Dirty' Kelly decided to leave Girlschool to pursue other ventures and to move to LA and lived in the USA for the next 10 years and in 1993 she rejoined Girlschool and moved back to the UK. From 1993 until 2000 Kelly, Kim, Denise and Tracey Lamb toured the UK, Europe and the USA and recorded a live album in March 1995. Kelly decided to Quit the music business for good in 2000 after recording her final album with Girlschool 21st Anniversary Not That Innocent. And the rest as they say is history.

Kelly, Glasgow Apollo prolly early 80's. I fought hard to get down to the very front of the stage, i was a youngster and stood right in front of you as Girlschool rocked heavy an loud. I must have got too close as the bouncers grabbed me, beat me and "escorted" me out. I managed to sneak back in, bruised, battered and watched the rest of one of the best gigs ive ever seen. The years have passed, your music's still so strong and Kelly... you touched my life without you knowing, and it made me a better person. RIP Kelly.

Allison Robertson of the Donnas--who only gets better and better-- truly keeps Kelly's true spirit and musicality (not to mention goddess-ness, but that goes w/out saying) alive in the most fitting and appropriate (not that rock & roll ever SHOULD be) WAY...

ok, well, if that doesn't make sense, blame it on the glass raised in yr honor..
or just on Denise...
that'll do...
