I’ve had an old PC under my desk for a long time and finally got around to taking some files off it so I could get it recycled. I was delighted to find I had some records of the Galway Jazz Club that myself and my wife Ann Lorraine Mack ran from 2004–2007, with lots of help from friends and volunteers of course. I’m going to add to this project over the coming weeks and months with some publicity photos and posters, but to get the ball rolling, I think this is a somewhat complete list of everyone who headlined the club from 2004 until 2007. The majority of the gigs used a local rhythm section which was usually myself, Declan O’Donahue or Ken Hall on drums, John Dunne or an American pianist John King on piano. Danny Healy often sat in on trumpet too. In the meantime, a little Galway jazz history:

Please join us for an ongoing discussion about obscure female jazz singers. Perhaps you can add some names that are not there or just enjoy some new music.
Thank you for your time.
