‘Oh, Listen to the Band!’ Conor Caldwell
Date & Time: 2.30pm, Saturday 9th November 2024
Venue: Lucas Bar, 74 Parnell St, Clonroad Beg, Ennis, Co. Clare, V95 X754
Conor Caldwell (fiddle) Ryan Molloy (piano) with Ben Castle (saxophone/clarinet) imagine the lost sounds of the Roaring ‘20s in Ireland. The arrival of jazz culture, spread by recordings, radio and through a wave of new jazz cafés and dance halls, sent shock waves through Irish society. It was soon embraced by traditional musicians in all corners of the country happy to play these new songs and tunes for enthusiastic and youthful audiences.
Archival fragments from legendary musicians, such as John Doherty, Josie McDermott and Con Cassidy, are brought to life in an exciting and creative way.
