The JPTrio
Lively, fresh, adventurous describes this new trad/jazz/fusion sound from the Sligo based JPTrio.
Brothers Ted and Jos Kelly and their former Sligo Grammar schoolmate Paddy Hazleton play a melodic and rhythmic fusion of traditional, jazz and world music where Paddy’s subtle driving beats propel the complex and musically sophisticated interchanges between Jos’s accordion and piano and Ted on banjo and tenor guitar.
JPTrio were winners of a Danny Kyle award for emerging artists at Celtic Connections festival last January and all three are former members of the Siansa Gael Linn winning group Spraoi.
The lads will be joined by their new band member and singer Niamh Farrell on the night. Niamh's vocals are stunning to say the least, her voice is recognized as potentially one of the most promising in the traditional idiom.
