Hugh Buckleys Sketches of Now

The subject of a recent RTE documentary along with his saxophone playing cousins, the timing seems fortuitous for Hugh Buckley to releases a new CD. Sketches Of Now follows his previous releases Yes Indeed and Spirit Level, and finds the unassuming guitarist in increasingly soulful mode. To that end, he’s recruited Justin Carroll on keys, along with Ciaran Wilde (alto), Michael Buckley (tenor), Dave Redmond (bass) and Shane O’Donovan (drums), and this muscular line up will be giving new material from the album its live debut prior to a visit to the Cork Jazz Festival.
