Featured Events in Dublin in March 2025 (March Updated)

The Dublin Jazz Co-op Presents Zoe Basha Curated by Jenna Harris Zoé Basha is a musician, composer and carpenter, of French and American origins. Based between Ireland and the traveling life for over a decade, Zoé blends traditional singing with jazz and blues. Her original pieces and traditional songs explore the crossover between the sway of Appalachian mountain songs, the fervour and solemn ornamentation of Irish traditional songs, and the pulse of American ragtime through playful, syncopated guitar and a booming voice, reminiscent of an old jazz record you can’t quite put your finger on. Coming from a background of traveling North America and Europe by hitchhiking, hopping freight trains and taking the scenic route with rust-bucket vans, she played music in the streets for years. Following the release of an album with vocal harmony trio Rufous Nightjar in March of last year, Zoé will be releasing her debut solo album ‘Gamble’ in April 2025. The album was recorded at Black Mountain Studios in Dundalk, with a band of esteemed musicians adding organ, upright bass, fiddle, dobro and drums, to voice and guitar. For this performance as part of the Dublin Jazz Co-op, Zoé Basha will be accompanied by Ultan Lavery on organ/keys, and Jim Christie on drums; the trio will be playing a mixture of original songs, standards, and some hidden gems of traditional jazz of the early 1900s.

Tricks is a pragmatist, Benji a poet. Both are wheeler-dealers, renting a shop on Frances Street in the antique district of Dublin. Nothing is guaranteed for Tricks and Benji except the rent that needs to be paid. “The strange array of vintage furniture and curios invite a younger generation to imagine the physical world of previous generations but when Benji steps inside a newly acquired confession box we get to see him wrestle with the interior landscapes of a catholic upbringing in Ireland. It’s funny and dark betimes.” Malcolm Everest of The Dublin Dispatch Information Source: The Five Lamps Arts Festival | eventbrite
