| The Act The band members bring to the stage over 250 years experience living, working and playing in Western Queensland. The Ned and the Kellys play list features contemporary versions of Australian bush songs mixed with original material reflecting life in the modern bush. Our repertoire features, poetry, folk music, and a generous smattering of pop and rock songs. Performances feature a blend of tin whistle, harmonica, banjo and mandolin, as well as the electric and double bass, electric guitar and drum sounds. Achievements Ned and the Kellys produced their first album "There goes Ned and the Kellys", in 1994, to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service local Charleville Auxiliary. The album boasts four original songs along with many well-known and much-loved, traditional Australian bush music. Over the years the band has volunteered its services on many occasions to support fund raising events for many outback community groups and organisations including the Flying Royal Doctor Charleville Auxiliary, the Queensland Cancer Fund and they are regular favourites at the annual Save the Bilby Festival. Ned and the Kelly's have proudly played support act to: Paul Kelly, Anne Kirkpatrick, Lee Kernighan, Colin Buchanan, John Williamson, Mental as Anything Jabaru, Col Joye, Women In Docs, Leo Sayer. A highlight for Ned and the Kellys was our national tour of Ireland (north and south) during October 2000. The tour included a special performance at the Temple Bar Music Centre in Dublin where the live show was recorded. After a great response from our first tour, Ned and the Kellys were invited to tour Ireland again in 2002.
