I've a bit of everything I've ever listened to, seen or felt filtered into my sound, here are some nice things that people have said about me.
"Kelly's voice knocked me out the very first time I heard it, she is one of our countries best and most versatile vocalists, she has great technique and tone yet can belt em out with the best of them! Kelly is a great singer and a great musician". Steve White
"Kelly Dickson is a force 10 hurricane bursting with energy, power and an outstanding voice, once heard never forgotten. Absolutely brilliant!". Liane Carroll
"A highly individual, mature voice with very subtle power that creeps up on you" Jamie Cullum
Retro funk band Mamafeelgood features the superb vocal talent of Kelly Dickson who in her raucous, funk delivery pays homage to the great Funk Divas - Lyn Collins, Gwen McCrae and Ann Sexton. Kelly is a petite blonde with a massive voice, best known on the funk scene for her collaboration with the funk band ‘The Players’, (an illustrious pedigree of musicians consisting of Steve White, Mick Talbot and Damon Minchella). She is a consummate performer with two New York jazz recordings to date.
Mamafeelgood have played numerous venues and festivals across Europe including The Blue Note Milan and Glastonbury and have built up quite a following. They have also held a year long stint as a resident band at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club.
Mamafeelgood delivers a dynamic live show, mixing authentic funk material with originals songs and super-heavy grooves from some of the UK’s finest musicians.

LOVE IS NOT GUILTY
Why is it so hard for me to say hello, You’ve hit my heart like an arrow, Give me your endless breath, So I could cheat death, I feel your heart beat in my chest.
I’m walking in your direction, All I feel is pain, Love is a losing game, Feels like I’m falling from the sky, I have no wings to fly, Why can’t you just be mine? Life is a one way mission, So I need your heart to listen,
Get to know me, You might get lonely, I could see through your eyes, Love is not guilty, Forget about going our separate ways, Love is a such crazy thing, You make me burn without the flame, Another unsolved mystery, Love is not guilty.
