Trad Rave (DJ) + The Blue Bottle Club at Jamboree

Event information

On March 28th we have a special Friday night at Jamboree with the celebrated DJ outfit Trad Rave's Colm Olwill (Aka DJ PCP), with an opening set from The Blue Bottle Club!

Using modern DJ and turntablism skills to sequence and mix classic and new trad music with beats and bass, Trad Rave has played regular headline sets over the last four years at festivals and clubs including Glastonbury, the Galway Arts Festival, Electric Picnic, All Together Now and Beyond the Pale. Formed four years ago to explore bringing DJ techniques from club DJ’ing and turntablism to the presentation of traditional music at festivals and and in nightclubs, the project has been rapturously received. Expect classics from the likes of Sean O’ Riada, The Chieftains, Planxty, Christy Moore, The Bothy Band, Horslips, modern bangers from Cormac Begley, the Mary Wallopers, Lankum, Brighde Chaimbeul, Ross Ainslie and a selection of world folk from Scotland to the Middle East and beyond, and innovative musical juxtapositions that shock and delight. "Ancient cave music, from the future, and also from space".

Opening the night we have a live set from The Blue Bottle Club, a coming together of Glastonbury's secret piano bar crew, playing performing a more upbeat, slightly rockier set than we've seen of the previously, injected with high-energy rhythm’n’blues!
