Patricia Ward Kelly offers a unique perspective on classic film and Hollywood.

Gene and Patricia Kelly met at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. in 1985, when he was the host/narrator for a television special about the museum and she was a writer on the project. Soon after, he invited her to California to write his memoir and the two married in 1990. During the course of their decade together, Patricia Kelly recorded her husband’s words in some format nearly every day. This remarkable personal account provides the background and impetus for this remarkable show.

Singer-songwriter DAMI IM is set to release a new single Crying Underwater - out 13th September. One of Australia’s brightest and most loved performers, Crying Underwater is Dami’s first single release since 2016 and is an exciting precursor to a plethora of new music to come.

Crying Underwater is about something many can relate to about feeling sad and isolated but each day putting on a mask for other people. “There is so much pressure in today’s society to always look happy so we end up feeling like we’re not allowed to talk about how we really feel.. Just like you’re crying underwater where no one can see you crying”. Co-written with Michael Tan and produced by Andy Mak, Dami wrote majority of the song sitting at her piano at home where she feels the most comfortable.

​

​Dami is currently in the middle of her DREAMER tour that will see her crisscrossing up and down the east coast of Australia before concluding in Perth on the 16th November. Tickets on sale now via https://www.damiim.com/tour.
