Fr Ray’s Hallelujah Day

Fr Ray Kelly released this statement on Easter Sunday.

“It is seven years tomorrow [April 5] since that my very own Hallelujah Day occurred when I sang Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ at a wedding and a video of the occasion went viral, giving me the opportunity to record two albums over time.

“This week I am proud to release the first single of my forthcoming third album and as luck has it, it is indeed called Hallelujah Day.

“It is my song of hope. A song to bring light and on this Easter Day, a song of resurrection for all of you.

“As we journey through this Covid-19 pandemic, I know many people have experienced their own crucifixion through serious illness or indeed the loss of a loved one. But through it all we must have hope. My wish is that this song brings light and hope into all your lives.

“Happy Easter everyone,” Fr Ray.
