Born in Sligo into a family of travelling entertainers, Sandy Kelly has become one of the top musical performers in Ireland. Sandy was co-opted into the family variety show from an early age. As a teenager she sang on the social club circuit in the UK, playing an ever more prominent role. When she returned to Ireland, she developed initially as a pop performer before following her instincts and concentrating on a music career. Her landmark 1989 recording of the Patsy Cline hit ‘Crazy’ led her to perform on stages all over the world, including the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and the lead role in Patsy – The Musical in London’s West End. But the music industry can be a tough place. Sandy has dealt with prejudice and financial pressures. Alongside the glamour of show business, she has experienced the heartaches of divorce, family illness and death, and faced the challenges of raising a daughter with special needs. Sandy has stood strong at the heart of Ireland’s music scene for over four decades. Here, for the first time, she recounts the highs – and lows – of a lifetime in music, in her own words.

In March 2020, when social distancing was brought into operation, a pensioner in a Scottish village began to write a daily blog on social media for family and friends. Sandy's wry and amusing descriptions of his day to day life quickly caught the imagination of readers worldwide, and became compulsive reading for more than 1600 followers. Sandy's diaries are filled with gentle humour and sharp observation. Here you will meet Sandy and his wife M, along with the rest of their family, and read about their interactions with each other, with friends and neighbours and with random people. There are encounters with birds and animals, airlines and insurance companies - some of it friendly, some less so - but always light hearted and thoroughly entertaining. As the diaries start, Sandy charts his daily activities, such as shopping and housework, and laments the downturn in his social life as events are cancelled. As the story progresses and lockdown becomes a reality we learn that M is isolated at home with Sandy and the interactions between her industrious nature and his relaxed outlook lead to some entertaining situations. Painting and decorating, gardening, DIY, all lend themselves to Sandy's sense of fun. And as we progress through the diaries, past the milestones of twenty, fifty, one hundred days, we meet more characters including El Gato the stray cat, Angry Dog and Percy the persistent crow. There are encounters with the Hoover from Hell, the garden shed of doom and the dreaded Times Crossword. All punctuated with regular supplies of scones from the Lovely Italian Neighbour. There are 101 of these daily diaries, and every one of them will make you smile. The Covid-19 pandemic was a devastating experience for many people and Sandy doesn't trivialise that, but he manages to find humour in the most ordinary of situations and to see the funny side of a very serious situation.

The Belfast Telegraph once ran an article entitled The Town That Is Called Sandy Row, describing a vibrant community that was entirely self-sufficient, boasting an abundance of shops, pubs, and churches to meet all of its residents' needs. At the time, the population of Sandy Row was 7,500, but it would eventually plummet to under 2,000 due to a redevelopment project that involved the demolition of many homes in the 1980s. As a result, countless locals were forced to leave the area, never to return. Compounding the effects of redevelopment was the ongoing conflict known as The Troubles, which caused great hardship for the community. It was during this time that Gordon, a proud native of Sandy Row, felt compelled to document his experiences and share them with future generations. Though his dream of publishing a book about his beloved Sandy Row was delayed for many years, now may be the perfect time, given the current push to rebuild the community and provide much-needed social housing. Every effort has been made to preserve Gordon's original wording, with only a few unavoidable changes made. The hope is that the publication of this book will serve as a fitting tribute to all those who have been a part of Sandy Row over the years. Any profits generated will be put towards the valuable community work carried out by the Blackstaff Residents' Association.
Sandy Row Riots is a collection of poems that are by turns wry, moving and epiphanic. Rosemary Jenkinson lives up to her reputation as one of the sharpest and most relevant writers working today by alighting on contemporary love and relationships, family ties and the teeming city streets. Her themes deal with life in Northern Ireland, both past and present, paramilitary and suburban.
