My new single Do You Know Bog Jazz? is now available everywhere 🙂

Do You Know Bog Jazz? Is the secret child of Sliabh Luachra fiddle music and a misspent youth playing electric guitar in biker bars.. the unexpected offspring of two very different worlds.

The recording is from a gig with the great Shane Murphy on drums at the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival back in October 2024.
If you’d like to buy it, I’d be delighted but if you’d just like to add it to your Bandcamp account for free get a code here:

The name of the track is a tongue in cheek attempt to categorise this music after someone said it was like Desert Blues.
The piece is based on three reels: Within a Mile of Dublin / Johnny Allen’s / Tom Billy’s

Eoin Stan O’Sullivan – guitar.
Shane Murphy – drums.
Engineer Keith O’Connor.
Recorded by Colm Hinchion.
Mixed & Mastered by Oscar at Abbeyfeale Road Studios, Newmarket, Ireland.

Now tell all your friends and loved ones and please get them to play it loudly in their cars with the windows open.

Here’s a few little bootleg recordings from a gig I did on Garnish Island..

One of the nicest days ever. Organised by The Good Room. Photos are by Bríd O’Donovan.

There was a walking tour of the Island with little stops for 25 minute musical performances.

I was taken to my spot and setup my amp and guitar. As I was warming up I put my recorder in front of my amp.

These are some recordings from both my gig and a few tunes I played for some people who decided to listen to me warming up..

It was a nice bill to be on. There was the amazing David Murphy doing material from his recent album of traditional melodies on pedal steel guitar, Brian Leach was doing his celtic experimentalism with his home made hammer dulcimer. Sorcha De Roiste sang sean nós songs. I did my bog jazz stuff.. Myself and Sorcha did two duets which I didn’t record but here’s one of the songs that we did in 2019.

Here’s a few pic form the day and like I said above all photos are by Bríd O’Donovan
