What is recorded here
Michael Kelly is a birthplace in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps a baby singer cried into the Christmas air of 1762, already carrying melodies that would later travel across Europe. Maybe his mother heard music in that cry and named him for a saint she loved. Imagine the small house shaking with laughter and song long before he ever stood on a foreign stage.
