The Roaring 20´s Irish Orchestra

The band’s first live performance, on Gala Night at Tradfest, Dublin in January 2018 was a roaring success. While the 20s era was covered very successfully by Frankie Gavin and De Danann with their 1989 album Star Spangled Molly, the greatest hit record of any Irish music act, the Roaring Twenties Irish Orchestra will revive that extraordinary era once again with their new recording and the string of performances that will follow. Their album, By Heck, was launched in Waterford’s City Hall with a formal reception by the City Council and the Mayor of Waterford, followed by a performance of the music from the album.

The main quartet are Martin Murray (banjo), Frankie Gavin (fiddle), Emma Corbett (melodeon) and Carl Hession (piano). Other musicians on the night included clarinet, double-bass and a brass section comprising four trumpets.
