Ray Kelly (singer)

Father Ray Kelly (born April, 1953 in Tyrrellspass) is an Irish Catholic priest, best known for singing.

Kelly became famous in 2014 after a video of him singing Leonard Cohen's song Hallelujah while officiating at a couple's wedding became a YouTube sensation. The words were modified to suit the occasion by 10-year-old bridesmaid Lucy Pitts O'Connor. By December 2015 it had received over 46 million hits.

In December 2014 Universal Music released a 10-track album Where I Belong of Kelly singing Celtic-inspired arrangements. The album was recorded during summer 2014 in a studio created for the purpose in Kelly's house, so that the recording schedule would not interfere with his duties as a priest.

In December 2015 Kelly was a guest on the BBC Radio 4 programme Midweek.[1]
