\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Bellhops are an award winning 6 piece Blues, Jump’n’Jive and Swing band from Sydney and the 2003 Australian Blues Awards Band of Year. Their album No Reservations was voted 2003 Australian Blues Album of the Year while their debut release Room Service was 1999 Runner Up for Blues Album of Year. In 2010 they released their first live recording, The Great Con Job, recorded at the Goulburn Conservatorium of Music as part of the Australian Blues Music Festival.\n\nThe Bellhops can be compared to Canada’s Powder Blues Band or the USA’s Roomful Of Blues with their main musical influences being the Swing and Jive era of the late 40’s, the Rock’n’Roll of the 50’s, the Soul and R&B of the 60’s and the Blues music legacy of so many great blues artists. The Bellhops pay tribute to these influences in their recorded work and also in their live performances, recordings and original songs, with material drawn from, and inspired by, artists such as Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, BB King, Chuck Berry, Albert King, Ray Charles, Howling Wolf and Wilson Pickett\n\nThe Bellhops can be found regularly playing around the Greater Sydney Region, Wollongong and the Illawarra Region, Newcastle and the Central Coast Lakes Region, Goulburn and the Southern Highlands Region. They have even been spotted as far south as Victoria, (especially those Ski Field gigs) and as far north as Byron Bay (especially those resort gigs), as far west as Wagga Wagga or Mudgee (especially those Winery gigs).<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMusic runs through Declan Kelly\u2019s blood. It\u2019s been a part of him since the very beginning. With an Irish father and a Maori mother, herself a talented musician, he was encouraged to learn the drums and guitar at a young age. He\u2019s aligned himself with some of the greatest Australian musicians we\u2019ve seen, plying his trade with The Beefs with Alex Lloyd and The Bondi Cigars, before releasing his debut album \u2018Tales From The Neighbourhood’ in 2005 with support from the late great Andy Glitre.\n\nLate 2019 saw Declan Kelly release his fourth studio album ‘Views With A Room\u2019, which saw Declan searching for answers while tackling issues of masculinity and despondency. Declan Kelly has a way of captivating fans with his roots and his rhythm. ‘Views with a Room’ \u2013 featuring the beautifully stripped-back singles ‘Catch Your Ego\u2019 and \u2018Take Me in Tonight\u2019 \u2013 was a deep and reflective project that engaged with themes too rarely discussed by male artists. It is easy to see why Declan has gained the respect of fans, media, and esteemed colleagues such as Bernard Fanning, Katie Noonan, Bobby Alu, and Kasey Chambers through his authenticity and spectacular musicianship.\n\nDuring the 2020\/21 pandemic, Declan put aside touring plans and spent the lockdown period back in the studio. Conceived over the years when Covid locked us all down, gigs were cancelled, and for Declan and his partner, a baby (Billie) was born. The album title ‘Headlock’ says all that needs to be said about the last three years. \u201cIt\u2019s the right call with this madness, it\u2019s a major haul for us to carry, we\u2019re caught in a headlock with these roadblocks, it\u2019s time to say goodbye to hard knocks\u201d sings Declan.\n\nCo-produced by Declan and his close friend Justin Stanley (King Stingray, Prince, The Vines, Beck, Mark Ronson, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton) in Declan’s studio in Sydney\u2019s Surry Hills called The Nest. The album was mastered at King Willy Sound and features Declan\u2019s closest musical friends helping when called on to add another layer of beauty.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
