O’Leary/Davis/Jermyn- Pendulum

Mark O’Leary might be an enigmatic presence on the capital’s music scene, but the non-conforming guitarist is blossoming internationally, and in recent years he has built a truly impressive catalogue with the staunchly independent Leo Records label.Now recognized as an important presence in improv circles, the Corkman has released a remarkable sixteen albums, keeping stellar company throughout from chamber projects with pianist Mathew Shipp to open trios with trumpeter Tomasz Stanko. He makes an overdue Pendulum debut in his favoured trio environment with two musicians well suited to his spontaneous approach.Belfast drummer Steve Davis and Dublin bassist Simon Jermyn have recently been performing together as two thirds of the noisy and iconoclastic Knucklebiter, and will bring something fresh and original to bear on an intriguing first encounter.
