The Sofa Sessions presents Scott Flanigan
Rising Belfast keyboardist Scott Flanigan has been a frequent and very welcome visitor at the Sofa Sessions over the last few years, but he's usually playing his Hammond organ with guitarists like Jimmy Smyth and Tommy Halferty. Here's a chance to hear Scott at the piano, playing standards from the great American songbook, accompanied by leading Dublin bassist Dave Redmond and Sofa Sessions house drummer and curator Cormac Larkin.
