Latest News:

Holly Kirby is currently studying Creative Music Technology at the University of Surrey, writing more songs, preparing for her second album, looking forward to starting a band, and considering future tours. There are so many possibilities!

She has been very busy in 2010/2011, performing frequent public and private gigs, and appeared at the Isle of Wight FestivalBestival, FolkStation, the Wickham FestivalVentnor Fringe, and many other events - you can see photos of some of these on her photos page. She has also been involved in several musical and video collaboration projects, and has been interviewed on BBC and other local radio stations.


In late May 2010 Holly launched her first album, A Woman You Don't Know, before a sell-out crowd . You can read a review of this great event in the Isle of Wight Gazette (page 40), and see see video clips of The Lady and The Past, Carey, Beautiful Deceit and My Little Ukulele Song from the album launch event.  There are also many more news articles and reviews available on Holly's scrapbook page. To learn more about the album itself, (and watch Holly waving it about) visit Holly's Shop.

Throughout the last year Holly has continued to create and release new song videos on her popular alpet07 YouTube site, which has achieved well over a million views and more than 11,000 subscribers.



Holly is also now a featured Luna Guitar Artist! 




Making a Promo video for Ventnor Fringe Festival


Holly has accepted a place studying Creative Music Technology at the University of Surrey, where, in the words of the course, she will learn from leading industry practitioners including Oscar, Emmy and BAFTA winners. However, while making use of every opportunity that University provides, she also intends to learn as much as possible out in the real world, and hopes to continue playing lots of public gigs, festivals, and private functions.



As well as her originals, Holly can play a wide selection of cover songs. Here's an example set list from a recent gig, containing a selection of cover and original songs, although Holly can perform many others. In her gigs she plays Lady her guitar, and sings a mix of originals, modern songs, and old traditional favourites, and occasionally performs some ukulele songs which go down very well.


Holly is currently based in the Isle of Wight, England, and (during University term time) the University of Surrey, but would consider events throughout the Southern England region generally. If you would like Holly to play at your event, contact her here!
