The Vibes are an 8-piece band from Belfast made up of Irish, Scottish and Swedish reggae fans. The Vibes do a mixture of their own original Irish reggae material, covers of Jamaican reggae and old school ska; the band also take music from other genres (folk/soul/rock) and do reggae versions of songs...
For this project they are taking a bunch of Irish traditional songs, sets of reels, hornpipes, polkas, and some other Irish folk songs from the likes of Paul Brady and Christy Moore, and these have been given a reggae/ska spin, merging different traditions. The Vibes are joined by two great trad players with Elaine Murphy (flute/whistles/vocals) and Conor Brady (concertina)
Our DJ for the evening is Lisa Flavelle-Stephens who will be busting out a set to reflect our evening of mixing folk traditions from around the world.
