Dave McHugh Band ft Brian Downey

Music

Dave McHugh Band ft Brian Downey

Featuring Dave McHugh (guitar), Paul Moore (bass), Brian Downey (drums) with guest Christian Volkmann (harmonica).
Dave McHugh has been playing the blues for 21 years or so now. In 1996, he was voted Blues Newcomer of the Year at the Temple Bar Blues Festival, Dublin. Now aged 39, and based in and from Dublin, Ireland, he has played with many great Irish musicians over the years including Brian Downey, Shane MacGowan, John Earle, Jerome Rimson, Gerry MacAvoy, Mark Feltham, Robbie Brennan, Brush Shiels, Noel Bridgeman, Leo Barnes, Samuel Eddy, The Walls, Jape, Mary Stokes, Peter Moore, Eamonn McCormack and many others.

With his beloved Fender Strat and Marshall amp, Dave and his band are a mainstay on the Irish and European blues scene. Whether it's opening the Alkmaar Blues Festival in The Netherlands on a barge, Headlining the Cobh Blues Festival, or playing on the Danube, The Dave McHugh Band are up for any challenge!

Specialising in raw Rory Gallagher type blues, Dave has also been compared to Gary Moore and Freddie King. Despite the heavy influence of all the great blues masters, Dave has his own unique style, soon to be realised with the forthcoming release of a new album of original material.
The set in JJ's will comprise of a sneak preview of some original tunes, a set of acoustic blues, and some old classics, with the legendary Brian Downey in the drum seat...
Doors open at 9:00 pm. Admission €10.
