Minnie and the Illywhackers
May 13, 2011
Time: 8.00pm

ukulele songs with that kind of swing, vintage pop, blues feel with a little old time/country thrown in for good measure every now and again!
'Former Sick and Indigent Song Club songwriter, vocalist, and ukulel player, Angie McLaughlin is now fronting a new band, Minnie and the Illywhackers. She draws on the talents of ex bandmates Shane McGrath (mandolin), Gerry Fitzpatrick (dobro), Christian Volkman (bass) to create and authentic, intimate, old supper club feel. The line up is augmented by exquisit trumpet player, Carl O'Byrne, a veteran of the Dublin music scene, whose melodic lines are the perfect compliments to McLaughlin's vocals. Their set is comprised of original songs, old stanards and forgoton classics from the first half of the 20th century
