Put on your dancin’ shoes and join us for a family friendly afternoon of music, dance, food and fun in The Piper’s Garden at the SEAC. Hit the dance floor to incredible live music by the masters of Ragtime, Dixieland Blues and Early Swing, from Los Angeles, we’re delighted to welcome back to the SEAC, The California Feetwarmers!
Bring the family to enjoy a BBQ, Popcorn, Candyfloss and be in with a chance to pick up some great prizes for dance and costume too!
The California Feetwarmers is the band that Keb’ Mo’ sought out to provide the right feel and authenticity for his latest album, BluesAmericana (winning them a Grammy-nomination), he did so as he wanted it to be “a joyous thing – a party”. Now, couldn’t we all do with a bit of that in our lives! “Enough spark to raise the dead!” – Folkworld “Should be on prescription for those who need their spirits lifted!” - AmericanRootsUK “Swing is a type of music and it’s a type of dance. It’s also a feeling and an attitude! But most of all it’s great fun. Swing dancing evolved in the underground clubs in Harlem in the 30’s to Swing Jazz music. Nowadays it’s an umbrella term for many dance styles, Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Balboa, Shag and much more!” - www.swingscene.ie Website: http://www.californiafeetwarmers.com

The five names in this band read like a nominations list for an Irish traditional music hall of fame; Dónal Lunny (Bothy Band, Planxty, Moving Hearts, LAPD, Mozaik), Andy Irvine (Sweeney’s Men, Planxty, LAPD, Patrick Street, Mozaik), Paddy Glackin (Bothy Band, LAPD), Michael McGoldrick (Lunasa, Capercaillie) and John Doyle (Solas). Dónal Lunny, Andy Irvine and Paddy Glackin link the band’s heritage back to the glory days of Planxty and The Bothy Band while two of today’s leading heirs to these pioneers – signature guitarist John Doyle and virtuoso flautist Mike McGoldrick – bring their experience of Celtic and other international roots styles to the mix.
Each is a talented soloist in their own right, but in this new band they offer a blend of old and young and of vocal and instrumental talents that results in exceptional music. This is an evening of super talents combined, not to be missed.

Rodney Crowell has been doing this for a while. In fact, his career has been so long and varied that you have to specify exactly which “this” you’re talking about. There’s the record-making, which dates back to 1978’s Ain’t Living Long Like This to a decade later with Diamonds & Dirt, which yielded five number-one country hits. There’s the fiercely lyrical and personal songwriting, which has attracted cover versions by everyone from Bob Seger to Keith Urban. And then there’s the autobiographical writing, which extends beyond the music world to a memoir, Chinaberry Sidewalks, published in 2011.
Now there’s a new album, Close Ties, featuring the award winning It Ain’t Over Yet, a vocal collaboration between Crowell, his ex-wife Rosanne Cash, and John Paul White. It’s at once his most intimate record and his most accessible, the product of years of understanding the ways songs can enter, and be entered by, life. Rodney’s special guest is Matt McGinn. His second album Latter Day Sinner was critically acclaimed receiving praise from Bob Harris BBC Radio 2 - “I’ve seen Matt play live and he’s fantastic and Latter Day Sinner is a beautiful album”. Matt has just released his third studio album Return of the Common Man. Website: https://www.rodneycrowell.com

Irish duo, brothers Harry and Alfie Hudson Taylor, have just released their ‘Feel It Again’ EP; their first new music since their album “Singing for Strangers” debuted in 2015. The EP gives their fans the first taste of Hudson Taylor’s forthcoming second album.

Barely pausing for breath, 2018 has already seen the brothers sell out a tour of the UK and Europe, and an exciting US tour with Gabrielle Aplin.
Returning to Ireland to find their second single ‘Run With Me’ in the airplay Top 10 and surging past 1.3 million streams on Spotify; Hudson Taylor are thrilled to be on tour back home. “Young hearts but witchy old souls with a private language - the wyvern lingo”.

Music is the glue that helped Wyvern Lingo stick together. Originally bonding over hand-me-down albums by Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell and Simon & Garfunkel; then starting their own thread of music, which stitches together a rough but resilient tapestry of influences, taking in folk, hip-hop, rock and R&B, all united by the spectral chill triggered by their unique vocal harmonies.
“This sensual, beat-driven, R&B-flavoured pop plonks itself down on your lap, coils an arm around your shoulder and seduces you to listen to every note. Resistance is futile.” – The Irish TimesDoors Open: 7:30pm
