Lockdown didn't defeat us, but we had to move from live audience to online, and so with the StudioKin video production team, we staged a number of half-hour video sessions which went out as YouTube premier events. These included memorable concerts by the 'Sazeracs', 'Ken Haddock', 'Micky and Oisin' and the Scott Flanigan Trio, all of which are available to watch here.
Ken is one of Northern Ireland’s most respected songwriters and bandleaders with several albums under his belt. This is a specially commissioned session of his original music!
The Sazeracs comprise Kyron Bourke piano / vocals, Linley Hamilton trumpet, Steve Davis drums. The guys played regularly on Sunday evenings in Bert’s Jazz Bar before lockdown, and have uniquely arranged the music of Leonard Cohen, Billy Joel, Tom Waitts, James Taylor and many more within a jazz context.
We were delighted to present Northern Irish jazz pianist Scott Flanigan in concert with Rohan Armstrong on bass, Andrew McCoubrey on drums, Linley Hamilton on trumpet and our special guest vocalist Niamh Murray.
For this inaugural session, Magysfarm was delighted to present Northern Irish jazz pianist Scott Flanigan in concert with Dave Redmond on bass, Dominic Mullan on drums and joined by Linley Hamilton on trumpet later in the show.
Mickey Fearon guitar / vocals, Oisin O’Murchu banjo and Sinead McKenna on fiddle…a wonderful set of traditional and folk songs mixed with originals…some of the most exciting young players around in this genre.
