Hello,
I'm trying to trace any surviving footage or audio of Jon Ledingham. Jon Ledingham was very popular in Ireland in the 1960's and was a member of the 'Viceroys Showband' in 1969 he moved to England and changed his name to Jonathan Kelly and had mainstream success with several albums including his best known "Twice Around The Houses" which featured what is probably his best known song "The Ballad Of Cursed Anna"

At present there is no surviving footage of Jonathan, both RTE & the BBC have destroyed all the material they had, no video, film or even home movie footage is known to survive and I am hoping, that somebody reading this message might just know of some that has survived, perhaps in a private collection. There are also  no known audio recordings of Jonathan performing Live in Ireland prior to 1970, if anybody made a recording of Jonathan who would at that time be called Jon Ledingham, then I would love to be able to add it to the Jonathan Kelly archive which I maintain on Jonathan's behalf.

If anybody has any material at all regarding Jonathan that is not already in the Archive, including photos, audio, video, film, magazine articles, ticket stubs etc and would be willing to share them with me then I would be grateful if they could contact me.

Kindest regards with fingers firmly crossed
