6. Why Kelly music is important to me?
Story by Carla from Norway
In 2007 we moved to Norway, a kind of moving out of Europe, it is for sure coming in a whole different world. When we talk about music on the radio can you choose between channel with new popular music or yes channel with good old clasicers, but if you listen to them for 1 week have you heard the same songs at least 50 times, and that is the whole you get.
So in the free time can you tube be very popular, and of course with searching for good music, we start always with music we remember from before.
The Kelly`s where not the only one but came often in between, about a half year ago I had it very difficult and was really searching for songs to keep me going on. And suddenly I found `why don t you go? From Paddy, I think it’s the most beautiful song I have ever heart, but it was almost word for word where I was in my life at that moment. I just kept on listening to that song over and over again, sometimes hours on a road nothing else, and crying. He sings, I put it down in a song to erase the memory, just like that, I had to listen to it to go further. I still listen to that song, without crying and I look`t out for much more songs, and I found out that the Kelly Family have a lot good music that I didn’t know but that I really like. Even I was not moved yet, I missed all the music from beginning 2000 and that is really a pity, the music start to be different there, every singer start more and more going his own way with the music, but really a lot of beautiful songs.
I also like that they dare to sing about difficult subject that makes you think deeper about others, or about your selve. It is good that there are a lot of feel good moments on facebook, but for me personal would it not be so bat for sometimes open up a discussion with those songs.
My personal situation is not really changed yet, but for sure I know where to found the music that helps to carry on, sometimes I feel just for the good old times, party feeling, sometimes I am looking for more thinking songs, but for sure there is always something that gives me the spirit to going on.
I will never forget the Kelly Family anymore, it is possible that it takes a while, maybe even some years because I gonna have to travel for it, but for sure going on a concert is standing on my to do list. Keep going on, I looking forward for more.

5. How did I become a Kelly Family fan?
Story by Nina Granheim from Sweden
It all started in the middle of the 90s. We had this german music channel called Viva and they were playing much better music than MTV. I were in the early teens and loved singing, especially music with feelings like musicals and ballads. I heard "Fell in love with an alien" and thougt to myself that this is special. I think that song was the first Kelly song for me and everytime Viva were playing it, I automatically ended up in front of the tv. Then I heard "An Angel" and "I can't help myself" and I was totally hooked. I found a record with The Kelly Family (Almost heaven) in my local record store and bought it immediately. That record was played on repeat every night together with my musical records. I was amazed with all the feelings in there music but didn't really go any closer than that at that moment. I met my fiance a couple of years later (1998) and the first month or two I kept playing Kelly Family and he liked it. But somehow my Kelly record were played less and less. Time went on and we got older and had kids and sometimes in the evenings we surfed on youtube together. I dont really remember the exact moment we found our way back to Kelly Family but everytime we surfed on youtube we allways ended up with listening on old Kelly songs and youtube had so much clips and we really felt memories and sentimentality everytime we listened. I started to read about the family and it all made sense. I really felt with the familys history and the feelings i felt in the songs went even stronger when the history behind the songs were reveald. We found more and more on youtube and now after years with Kelly songs daily we have bacome fans, I think =P The whole family really inspires us and probibly have formed our way of thinking. In May this year (2012) we had the great opportunity to go and see Angelo's concert (Off Road) when he was visiting Denmark. It was our first concert with an Kelly member and it was amazing. Angelo and Kira are amazing and we are really inspired of their way of living life in a way that really suites them instead of go with the flow. Their way of living brings back alot of memories and really got us to think about whats really important in life. We are planning to go and see more Kelly concerts in the future and some time in the future we hopefully have the chance of traveling around europe in our own camper at least when it's school holiday.
Hope to see you all sometime. Love and peace to you all =)

4. How did I become a Kelly Family fan?
Story by Loreta Kaltonaite from Lithuania
Hello to all Kelly fans! I am Loreta from Lithuania and was born the same year as Maite. I want to tell you the story about TKF and me. The first song "An Angel" was nice and I listened to it very often, but I wasn't a fan. Say the truth, first I became a fan of the family, but not of their music. It was in 1995, when I saw on TV (SAT1, channel of Germany) their concert "Christmas For All". And I began to search everything about them (Internet wasn't popular then), so I began to buy Polish magazines BRAVO. All my walls were full of the posters of them, I liked them all as one, I mean one family which couldn't be 9 members, but the one member - family. The first album I have bought was "Over The Hump", and I was filled with the music which wasn't like others. My favorite became Barby, she has strange face, voice and I couldn't understand how she looks for real, because I always looked at her photos and all of them were very different. Why she? We both like drawing, both have some similar problems of health and that's why she was/is/will be my sister. I still draw her and If it be possible I would like to show Barby's portraits made by me. I was in their two concerts in my country and in Angelo solo one. It's a pity I couldn't go to Paddy's concert last year in November (2011), but will wait for Patricia if she comes.
My life was changed by Kellys, because I always felt they are near - inside of me and the music is still helping to survive. I wish Barby not to give up and do everything who could help to feel as well as it could be. And to thank her and others from the family, that came to my life and brought a lot of good emotions, feelings and calmness.

1. How did I become a Kelly Family fan?
Story by Petra Bartlova from Czech Republic
When I was about 7 years old, I used to like singing in music class very much. I loved singing songs for the teacher we had, but then she had a baby and had to leave the school. So I decided to find a new star that I'd be singing songs of, because I thought that my songs weren't good anymore. I decided to watch the most popular music show at that time called "Eso" (Ace). I was watching..first there were some new videoclips, I didn't like it at all. Then, Spice Girls came. I thought to myself "If there's no one better, I'll be a fan of them." Well, second place was the Backstreet Boys with "Quit playing games with my heart." I thought to myself: "If there's no one better, I'll be a fan of them." The first place.. the Kelly Family with "I Can't Help Myself". A sweet sound of guitar, a beautiful guy singing. My heart was listening. Paddy started to sing..I just heard his voice and fell in love with him. My eyes started to fill with tears. The beautiful warmth of a family has definitely gotten my heart. It was for the first time that music made me cry and I was barely holding on. I thought to myself "I don't care if I hear anyone else. These are the best ones in the world, they are my favorite band from now on and I'll listen to them till forever." -> my point always is that nowadays I'm 22, still here, still listening to them!! :))
