John Donegan - piano, Andy Hague - trumpet, Luke Annesley - alto sax, Ben Waghorn - tenor sax, Riaan Vosloo - bass, Ryan Thrupp - drums.
Pianist John Donegan provided stand-out gigs in 2023 and 2024, and returns to present a new CD and batch of compositions. For his new album "We Will Meet Again, Sometime" John sticks with the three horn line-up of the Irish Sextet featuring some of the biggest names in the Irish jazz scene. On four tracks the regular sextet is expanded to septet by the addition of Hugh Buckley on guitar, cousin to the famous sax playing brothers Michael and Richie. "We Will Meet Again, Sometime" achieved a hard-to-get four star review from respected jazz author Pete Vacher in the recent edition of Jazzwise magazine, and was also made Editor's Choice - "it’s a packed and varied programme coupling fine writing and striking playing by these Irish superstars."
Originally from Cork in Ireland, John Donegan lived in Bristol during the 90s and was a mainstay of the jazz scene here before work took him to London. Now retired from his day job, over the past few years John has been able to dedicate his time exclusively to music and has released several recordings demonstrating his compositional skills including a suite of 21 contemporary pieces which have been released as 2 CDs, Siamsa Vols 1 & 2. “An intriguing combination of classic bebop laced with Irish folk melody, this album from pianist John and his saxophonist friend Tommaso Starace is full of sublime lyrical moments” - Musicians Union Magazine.
When performing in London John's sextet includes such heavy hitters as Steve Fishwick on trumpet and Alex Hitchcock on tenor sax, but for tonight we have reunited a special cast of Bristol's finest players to perform John's excellent arrangements - hopefully all of whom should be no strangers to our regular audience.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
