"The house was packed the opening night of Kelly's solo show 'presence', at Cargo & James in Halifax, June 3, 2009. The place rocked with fiddles, guitars and singing. The poetry of Pauline Kaill was moving yet at times humorous, bringing everyone to laughter!  "Thanks to everyone for a great night!!"--Kelly
