Dingle church to host exclusive Scullion gig
Scullion will play St James' Church on Thursday, August 19.
LEGENDARY Irish band Scullion play an exclusive gig at St. James Church, Dingle on Thursday August 19.
Some bands are destined to stay together, the songs a powerful cohesive in the intertwined lives of their performers, Scullion is such a band.
Three decades on from their formative gigs together, their signature sound is as strong as ever, maturing like a good wine, gaining depth and clarity. The voices of Sonny Condell and Philip King have taken on a seamless harmony, pinioned by the bravura guitar playing of Robbie Overson, who has ably filled the role of founding member Greg Boland.
They've remained loyal to the band's original vision and its recasting of folk and traditional songs with contemporary splashes of jazz and blues colour. It's a recipe that yielded four seminal albums, and an impressive catalogue of songwriting landmarks like Eyelids Into Snow, Down in the City and John The Baptist, that still form the backbone of their set today. Tickets are €18. For bookings and press calls please contact Triona or Aine on 086-1032399/ 0861096518.
