My favourite gigs this week span again from indie to jazz – although I rarely venture into the latter, one does need it from time to time!
Thursday August 13th 8pm The Workmans Club
Cat Dowling: The Believer
Good tempo song featuring Cat’s husky voice
Grace Wilde: Under Your Skin
Audrey’s jazz voice is full of emotions and the pair works seamlessly together
Silent Interlude: Dead Weight
My favourite of the three, Silent Interlude matches great drumming and strong electric guitar on this track in harmonious contrast with lead singer’s fairy tale voice. Hard to believe this is a band less than a year old!
RM HUBBERT + VerseChorusVerse
Friday, August 14th, The Vintage Room, The Workmans Club
Beautiful guitar playing from Scotland
Marc O’Reilly + Ciaran Lavery
Friday 14th August, Whelan’s upstairs
If you like Hozier, you’ll love Marc O’Reilly’s voice and his genius strums let it be on acoustic or electric guitar.
Second act on the night is Ciaran Lavery with his rich voice and old friend, the acoustic guitar.
Storytelling with music: John Spillane
The DC Music Club Fri 14 August
Blues at its best: the legendary Alvin Youngblood Hart + Crow Black Chicken from Ireland
Thursday 13th August Whelan’s Main Room
