One of the most exciting prospects in Jazz and Soul in Ireland and the moment, this Dublin based octet imbues their funky neo soul with an authenticity and musicianship that many of their contemporaries, quite simply, lack. The second show in Dublin in a busy month of May, the night also marks the release of their excellent, excellent new EP, ‘Jade Garden’. Boasting an absolute powerhouse of a voice in Annalise Furkin, who fronts a lineup featuring Havana Roots/Yankari saxman Richard Ng and TBL8 Brass Band trombone player Martin Farrelly. Every performance I’ve seen of the group has been a fire breathing showcase of sublime artistry married with technical mastery. Not to be missed, especially if you’re the type to tell people, “I was there.” – Adhamh O Caoimh
Lavery – ‘Jade Garden’ EP Launch takes place Upstairs in Whelan’s on Saturday May 25th
