A laneway in Adelaide has been renamed in honour of singer-songwriter Paul Kelly, who was born in the city.

Laneways honouring Cold Chisel and No Fixed Address followed, with Paul Kelly Lane being the fourth in the series. The laneway features light boxes designed by South Australian artist Heidi Kenyon that quote lyrics from Kelly’s songs. His 1985 ‘Post’ cut ‘Adelaide’, for instance, references Kensington Road and the Colonel Light statue.

Paul Kelly said “I’m honoured to be a part of this musical laneway project along with Cold Chisel, No Fixed Address and Sia, all artists I greatly admire. I also hope that my work will inspire reflection, and the deep human connection we all crave, for passers-by from all walks of life.” The City of Music Laneways project will also see Adelaide pub rock favourites “The Angels” become the fifth and final musical act to be honoured later this year, joining Sia Furler, Cold Chisel, No Fixed Address and Paul Kelly in the inaugural instalment of the celebratory program.
