Weltweit bekannt wurde Kilkelly durch den Liedermacher Peter Jones. Als Jones Briefe seines Ur-Urgroßvaters an seinen Urgroßvater John Hunt fand, der 1855 nach Amerika auswanderte, verarbeitete er den Inhalt der Briefe in der Ballade Kilkelly, Ireland. Hiermit zeichnet Jones ein Bild des irischen Lebens im 19. Jahrhundert.[2]
