The Verneri Pohjola Quartet on stage at the Mermaid Theatre in Bray last night.

It was @brayjazz.bsky.social Festival time again this weekend.

Saw the Finnish 🎺 Verneri Pohjola & his band at the Mermaid Theatre last night. His bass player father, Pekka Pohjola, worked with Mike Oldfield.

Brilliant music from them and the opening act, the Francesco Turrisi Trio 👏

RTÉs John Kelly knows a thing or two about music.
Currently host of the popular 'Mystery Train' on RTÉ lyric fm, the presenter recent described VIJAY IYER as one of the world's greatest pianists. No small praise indeed!
