Julien&John Feat. Susannah de Wrixon

About this event

Westport Jazz has taken its first steps in 2019 to bring high-quality live jazz to Westport. It aims to develop the jazz audience in Westport and County Mayo and to add to the current jazz scene. With the support of local sponsors it has programmed a series of concerts for the Autumn/Spring season that will delight the listener or jazz fan in the West.

To this end Westport Jazz are proud to announce a performance by an act of national acclaim. Julien&John have a growing reputation for wonderful guitar playing and superb arrangements of popular tunes. They have released two albums in recent years. The choice of playing an archtop and a Spanish guitar accentuates the different landscape of sounds that both Julien and John bring to the music and the implementation of percussive techniques makes for a 'jazzier and groovier' sound.

Add to this mix the incredibly talented Susannah De Wrixon and the formula is complete. De Wrixon has been charming audiences for years with her exquisite voice, keen wit and distinctive choice of song. She has toured with The Nualas, made regular appearances on stage and screen and performed on numerous occasions in the National Concert Hall. She is an impressive singer and her collaboration with the Julien&John is a match made in heaven.
