Steve Hanks Quintet

As the regular flow of Dublin players down the N7 will attest, Limerick is home to some fine musicians, and a quintet of the Treaty City's best make a collective pendulum debut here.

They boast a formidable frontline, with saxophonist Steve Hanks, a bulwark of Galway's Black Magic Orchestra and the exceptional guitarist Joe O'Callaghan, whose occasional Dublin performances always get tongues wagging among the jazz cognoscenti.

Drummer John Daly brings a wealth of experience and an impressive resume with Ireland's leading mainstream musicians, and he leads a rhythm section that introduces two emerging voices on the Irish scene, pianist Charles S Parker and bassist Peter Hannigan.
