So lithe, so minimalist folk but there is chemistry to be had in a pair of singers (Kelly and Nicosa) who may well have been holding hands as they worked their way through ‘Bruising, Smiling’. And what a delightfully ambling manner Francis Kelly has with his song, never hurried but always with its eyes on the prize of entertaining each and everyone who has tuned in. And the reaction will be a mix of sedate and wonder filled because little by little this cherub works its magic. Slow cooked charm, the best kind and another taste from Francis Kelly’s debut LP ‘Good For You’. KH
