MIDSUMMER JAZZ AND BLUES WEEKEND
JAZZ AT THE BANDSTAND
TICKET LAUNCH MONDAY 8th JUNE AT 8PM
Enjoy our live jazz event on Saturday 20th June from 3-5.30pm outdoors in the sun (yes we are all hoping that it's going to show up on the day!) in the beautiful setting of the Bandstand in the Porchfields in the heart of Trim town. We are feeling very fortunate to be the first gig to perform on this unique outdoor space. To entertain you at JAZZ AT THE BANDSTAND we are delighted to bring BLUTACK & THE GREENHORNS to Trim. Formed in Cavan in the Early 2000s, Blutack and the Greenhorns are a melting pot of Funk, Blues, Jazz, Rock, Soul and the craic. Their electric live shows have captured the love of audiences for over 15 years all over Ireland. The band has been well received by many of the Island's best festivals including Electric Picnic, Healing Spirit, Knockanstockan, Cork Jazz Festival.......and now the MIDSUMMER JAZZ & BLUES WEEKEND IN TRIM. To view all the gigs and events over the weekend visit Trim Midsummer Jazz and Blues Weekend
