Sandy Kelly, Part One

Part one of our chat with the legendary Sandy Kelly. From humble beginnings as a travelling performer with her family's roadshow to recording duets with Johnny Cash and Willy Nelson, hear Sandy tell the story of her amazing career with plenty of laughs along the way.

Kieran and Luke use the lads' intro to have some fun at Rory's expense by poking fun at some innocent ignorance that was exposed in the St Patrick's Day Special when revealed that he had never heard of embroidery before. Rory tells us about a recent near-death experience he had while out surfing.

Sandy sits into the guest seat as Kieran asks her about her origins as a performer. Hear Sandy talk about her childhood, her family, her musical and cultural heritage and how her upbringing shaped her life as a performer.

Asked to tell the story of how she came to work with the late Johnny Cash, Sandy takes on an amazing storytelling journey. Hear about the moment that Johnny happened to hear her singing on the radio one night as he was in the car preparing for a concert in Omagh and how it led to him inviting her to the concert, asking her to sing with him that night and ultimately record their famous duet "Woodcarver" after a trip to Nashville and a visit to Johnny's home.

We take a listen to "Woodcarver" to close out part one of our chat with Sandy.
