Line-up

Top new York based jazz stars – trumpeter Dave Douglas and pianist Ethan Iverson, Ivor Novello and MOBO Award and Ivor Novello-winning pianist Zoe Rahman, saxophonists Trish Clowes, Camilla George and Meilana Gillard, and rising Swiss piano star Marie Kruttli are amongst a dazzling cast who will grace the stage at Mermaid Arts Centre, this year.

Also featuring on this year’s Bray Jazz programme at Mermaid will be one of Africa’s most legendary bands – Orchestra Baobab – who have wowed audiences across the globe for over half a century with their infectious brand of high life, creole, Congolese rumba and  Afro-Cuban beats.

Down in neighbouring Greystones at Whale Theatre we’ll host gigs by UK Jazz Singer of the Year, the multi-award winning Georgia Cécile Quintet, and by a a quartet led by American pianist George Colligan.

And Bray Town Hall will have another strong international dimension – featuring Guardian ‘Album of the Year’ artist – Syrian flautist Naissam Jalal,  Finnish/Dutch Trio Peltomaa Fraanje Perkola, and by the amazing Welsh/Irish collaboration of harpist Catrin Finch and Aoife Ní Bhriain, whose debut release together was recently nominated for Best Album at the RTÉ Irish Folk Awards.
