Kell Kay impresses in UK maiden show: Next show Manchester on Saturday
Malawi’s multi-award winning Afro-pop and R’n’B prodigy, composer and songwriter Kell Kay real name Kelly Kambwiri currently in the UK on music tour impressed his UK fans and music lovers after putting up a stellar performance on Sunday night during a family music showdown in Northampton. 
The weather was damp and soggy but the people’s spirits were as high as the Golan Heights and as dry as Malawi Gin. The show had to go on, regardless. Nobody or anything could stop it.
Mercy Odhiambo, 27, a Kenyan national and a resident of Northampton said on the Malawian singing sensation: “He gave his all, his everything and his ‘bestest’ best. Everyone enjoyed. Everybody was satisfied and nobody complained. I am happy I came to see him and now I want to Malawi…”
The Kenyan added: “He was both worth the time and the dime. He is an incredible artist, handsome, funny and polite. He has the full package of a superstar; he has a sweet singing voice and some mad dance moves. All I am saying is I have had a great time.”
Kell Kay was on fire in Northampton during his maiden UK music show and he left everyone who attended the show satisfied and wanting despite the weather made it impossible for the show to take place outdoors as originally planned as it rained cats and dogs throughout the day.
The show had to be shifted from the open ground to indoors, in a hall and the Malawian songster didn’t disappoint as he dished out the best of himself.
Doreen Onions from Derby said: “Kell Kay is my favourite musician and I couldn’t miss his show for anything. I am so happy I came. I had a great time and I have enjoyed myself. I love being Malawian and it makes me feel proud when I support an artist from home.”
The R’n’B crooner, Kell Kay had promised to give his best.
The Mr Yesu hitmaker after the show: “I am happy I made my fans and everybody who came along happy. I enjoyed performing for them and they were an incredible audience. I was both chuffed and humbled but so honoured to see young children singing along lyric for lyric for almost all my songs. I felt great and I am grateful for the massive support that I got.”
The Milandu singing stalwart who attended a Nigerian mega-superstar, Tiwa Savage music performance Friday night in Northampton thanked the organisers of his UK tour for making his dream come true and for the first-rate hospitality.
“This is the best time of my music career. I will live to cherish this lit experience for life. Life is a journey and this is the pinnacle of my life’s journey, especially in my music life sojourn.”
During the show, Kell Kay, shared the stage with various international artists from Uganda, Kenya and the Gambia.
