Paddy Kelly is an Irish/ Scottish singer/entertainer living in a Glengarry county, Ontario Canada. Born and raised in the Nation’s Capital, Paddy has his father to thank for his love of traditional Celtic music. His dad played with “Jug O’ Punch” and “The Celts” in the 1960s and, years later, Paddy followed in his footsteps. He joined an Ottawa band named “The Descendants” (no relation to the “Irish Descendants”) and fell in love with Glengarry when the group played gigs in Martintown and Alexandria hotels.
Paddy has called Glengarry home since 1982 when he joined a local Scottish group called “The Brigadoons.” To this day, the ensemble continues to perform at highland games and celtic festivals across Canada and the U.S. The group originated in 1971 by Rob Taylor and is celebrating their 50th anniversary.
In 1998, Paddy also teamed up with another talented musician from Ottawa, Pat Maher, to form “The Two Paddys.” For over 20 years, the duo has delighted audiences up and down the Ottawa Valley and Western Quebec.
While Paddy’s main focus has been “The Brigadoons” and “The Two Paddys,” he often performs with other local musicians, including: Ashley MacLeod, Kelsey McDonell, Bobby Lalonde, Kathy Fraser-Collins and many more. His extensive knowledge of the Glengarry music scene allows him to assemble the perfect mix of performers for any occasion.
Paddy has two solo albums, two CD’s as The 2 Paddy’s, and since 1982 approx 12 with the Brigadoons. He has played on 19 Scottish cruises, 10 engagements at Disney’s Epcot Centre, many US and Canadian Highland games including appearing as regular featured performers at the Glengarry Highland Games since 1982 Always looking to share the stage with great upcoming talent, Paddy as formed a new coalition called Stewarts Glen.
