Kelly Johnson [Bernadette]

Kelly Johnson, born Bernadette Kelly Johnson on June 20, 1958, in Edmonton, London, was a British guitarist best known for her work with the all-female rock band Girlschool. She was an influential figure in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement during the late 1970s and 1980s. Johnson's guitar playing and presence helped Girlschool gain recognition in a predominantly male-dominated genre.

Throughout her career, Johnson contributed to the band's distinctive sound and was regarded as a pioneering female musician in rock. She passed away in 2007, leaving behind a legacy as one of the early prominent women in heavy metal music.
