The 13th night of the One Take Sessions hits Cleere’s tonight. You might say unlucky for some – we’ve had some last minute lineup changes with Waiting To Explode and Bright Light Fiasco taking a nosedive off the bill and Jack O’Leary stepping into the fray, making his second appearance at the One Take Sessions in the past seven months.
Hardcore One Take Sessions fans should remember Jimi Cullen and Jack who both put on fantastic sets when they played their respective nights earlier this year in ID but now, a few months on and a new venue in hand it will be great to see both acts take to the stage in Cleere’s. Some people might remember Darren Byrne from a few years back, making the national headlines for being refused entry into the US and sent packing back to Ireland. Ten years ago, possibly slightly more, Darren formed The Wexford Songclub which is still going strong today.
He’s played with the likes of Mary Coughlan, Shane McGowan, Juliet Turner, Paddy Casey, Kila. He runs his own agency and has so many music fingers and musical pies its amazing he’s still going. 3,000 gigs later he arrives at the One Take Sessions. Ever seen an Irishman rap with a boudhran – quite possible tonight that you will.
We’re in Cleere’s at go at 9:30pm or so, it is free – bring the friends, girlfriend, boyfriend, brother, sister, grandparents – whatever. Challenge yourself to discover new music! See all y’all in Cleere’s tonight!
