The charm of Sea Church’s beautiful setting will only add to the warmth and community feel of this special event.

The event is hosted by Eoin Jordan who will be performing with Brain Tambling & David Murphy 

Brain & David will both be playing solo sets on Nov 13th, and jamming with Eoin Jordan at the end.

David Murphy:

David Murphy takes the pedal steel guitar outside the confines of its traditional roots with frequent ventures into a range of genres, spanning Americana and folk to ambient, experimental music and film soundtracks and is best known for his work with artists such as The Lost Brothers, John Blek, Ordnance Survey, Arborist, The Delines, Willy Vlautin, M.Ward and Jolie Holland amongst others.

His debut album ‘Cuimhne Ghlinn: Explorations in Irish Music for Pedal Steel Guitar’ (Rollercoaster Records) takes it from the well-worn roads of the dusty American south to a new place in contemporary Irish music. His all-instrumental debut recasts ancient Irish harp tunes and historic airs into the 21st century with the swelling, expressive and mournful sounds of the pedal steel guitar. This continues Murphy’s quest to expand the vocabulary of the instrument, taking it deeper into a world much closer to home and, for the very first time, present it in a modern Irish framework.

Murphy’s live shows present these ancient Irish harp tunes and historic airs by O’Carolan, O’Riada et al in the 21st century, voiced by the mysterious and emotive sound of the pedal steel guitar. With a band of all-star musicians from across contemporary, modern-classical and traditional/folk worlds, the pedal steel ably takes its place within an ensemble of cello, violin, piano, harp and lush electronic textures and synths. Murphy and his band conjure a palette of sparse, dreamlike, atmospheric soundscapes and stirring, cinematic takes of these culturally significant compositions and melodies from Ireland’s great harpists, composers, and song collectors. Recent appearances include Kilkenny Arts Festival, Electric Picnic, Another Love Story, Galway and Doolin Folk Festivals and a live TG4 performance at Fleadh Cheoil.

Brian Tambling:

Cork based musician Brian Tambling is somewhat of an enigma on the local music scene. Starting out as teenager playing blues/rock and fronting a Rory Gallagher tribute band “StageStruck”. He then lived abroad for a long stint spending time on the continent and further afield playing music in many different settings. Influences range from old folk, blues, rock, jazz and much more. Recent years have seen him playing mostly around the west Cork area in various solo, duo and band settings. Currently a member of new West Cork based band Cosmic Ghost Collective and local East Cork act Dark & Lively. Brian has also been writing original material over the last year with the intention of a solo release in the near future.

Catch this incredible night of music at Sea Church on November 13th, featuring solo sets by Brian Tambling and David Murphy, followed by an epic jam session with Eoin Jordan. Don’t miss it!
