SUMMARY:Tom Robinson
DESCRIPTION:An evening of tall tales and top tunes from a half century spent on the wilder fringes of the Music Industry. Expect encounters with Alexis Korner\, Ray Davies\, Elton John\, Peter Gabriel\, Todd Rundgren\, Eddy Grant and Brian Eno – alongside classics such as War Baby\, Glad to Be Gay\, and 2-4-6-8 Motorway. Plus unexpected back catalogue gems from Café Society (1975) to Only The Now (2015) in this new two-man show with virtuoso guitarist Adam Phillips (Beverley Knight\, Craig David\, James Morrison\, Mica Paris\, One Direction\, Ray Lamontagne\, Richard Ashcroft\, Roland Gift\, Tom McRae etc) \n2026 BIOG \nTom Robinson first record release was in 1975 as one-third of Café Society: an acoustic harmony trio produced by Ray Davies of The Kinks who had discovered them playing at The Troubadour coffee house in London’s Earls Court. After seeing The Sex Pistols at The 100 Club\, Tom realised “the Next Big Thing probably wasn’t going to be an acoustic harmony trio” and formed a new group of his own with guitarist Danny Kustow. The Tom Robinson Band were early supporters of Rock Against Racism and went on to enjoy Top Five success with 2-4-6-8 Motorway and mild notoriety a few months later with their LGBT anthem Glad To Be Gay. Their album Power In The Darkness entered the charts at No.4. \nIn the subsequent 50 years Tom’s been mentored by Alexis Korner and Martin Carthy\, written songs with Elton John and Peter Gabriel\, toured with The Police\, Red Wedge and The Undertones\, and Rocked Against Racism alongside The Clash\, Steel Pulse and X-Ray Spex. He’s also been banned by Radio One\, bankrupt and exiled in East Berlin\, and hounded by the tabloid press for beng in love with a woman. \nMore recently he gave 10\,000+ artists their first radio airplay on his BBC Introducing shows and served for ten years on the Ivor Novello Awards committee. At age 75 Tom still enjoys a reputation among his punk contemporaries – as well as the world of acoustic/roots music – as both as a master songsmith and a funny\, ferocious live performer.

SUMMARY:Joe Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Often depicted as a chameleonic artist who constantly ‘changes his style\,’ Joe Jackson insists that most of his albums are in ‘his own mainstream’ – collections of sophisticated pop songs\, using different kinds of rhythms and combinations of instruments.\nJoe Jackson has just confirmed his return to 3Olympia Theatre\, Dublin on Sunday 27th September 2026.\nJoe Jackson was born on August 11 1954 in Burton-on-Trent\, England\, but grew up in the South Coast naval port city of Portsmouth At age 16 Joe played his first paying gig\, as pianist in a pub next door to a glue factory just outside of Portsmouth.  This was followed by other pub gigs (in which he was often trying to entertain crowds of drunken\, bottle-throwing sailors) and accompanying a bouzouki player in a Greek restaurant. At age 18 Joe won a scholarship to study Composition\, Piano\, and Percussion at London’s Royal Academy of Music. By 1978 Joe was living in London and hawking an album-length demo\, with his own band (Graham Maby\, Bass; Dave Houghton\, Drums; Gary Sanford\, Guitar) standing by. That demo  –  already called Look Sharp  – eventually found its way to American producer David Kershenbaum\, who was in London in the capacity of talent scout for A&M Records.  Joe was immediately signed and Look Sharp more professionally re-recorded in August ’78.  The Joe Jackson Band finally started to play regular gigs and the album was released in January 1979. \nJoe Jackson’s story up to this point is much more fully\, fascinatingly\, and hilariously recounted in his book A CURE FOR GRAVITY.  Look Sharp was followed within a year by the very similar I’m The Man\, and in 1980 by the darker\, more reggae-influenced Beat Crazy. In 1981 Jackson recorded Jumpin’ Jive\, a ‘musical vacation’ paying tribute to Swing and Jump Blues artists such as Louis Jordan and Cab Calloway.  Returning to songwriting\, Joe spent a large chunk of 1982 in New York.  The result was Night and Day\, a more sophisticated and melodic record built around keyboards and Latin percussion\, rather than guitars.  With a new guitar-less band\, Jackson hit the road for a whole year\, and the album became his biggest success\, going platinum in the US. \nJackson’s next album Body and Soul(1984) was in a similar vein to Night and Day but featured a horn section (which\, along with the Blue Note-inspired cover art\, led many people to wrongly assume he’d made a jazz record). For Big World (1986) Jackson stripped everything down to a 4-piece again\, and recorded live\, direct to 2-track master.  In 1989 he went in the opposite direction with the majestic\, semi-autobiographical Blaze of Glory\, and toured with an 11-piece band.  Laughter and Lust (1991) was more like a mainstream (though still idiosyncratic) rock record\, but yet another lengthy world tour left Jackson exhausted and at a creative dead end.  As he sees it\, his workaholic phase\, which also included several film scores\, a live album (Live 1980-86)\, an instrumental album (Will Power\, 1987)\, guest appearances with Suzanne Vega\, Ruben Blades and Joan Armatrading\, and endless touring was over. The 1990s brought some of his most challenging and eclectic works: the gentle\, soul-searching Night Music (1994)\, the ambitious and original song-cycle based on the Seven Deadly Sins\, Heaven and Hell (1997)\, and the album Joe considers his best (and most underrated): Night and Day II (2000).  The turn of the century saw a burst of creativity: Jackson won his first Grammy (Best Pop Instrumental Album for the non-traditional\, non-orchestral Symphony No.1) and published his book A Cure For Gravity. \nIn 2003 Joe reformed the original Joe Jackson Band for a stunning new album\, Volume 4\, and a lengthy tour.  The reunion was always intended as a one-off\, but it also produced a live album\, Afterlife\, in 2004. He was also awarded a Fellowship by the Royal Academy of Music and an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Portsmouth. Having failed to happily re-establish himself in London\, he moved to Berlin\, where his next album Rain was recorded in 2007. Consisting of ten powerful\, timeless new songs\, Rain creates a surprisingly epic sound with just voices\, piano\, bass and drums. The trio toured for the next three years. A live album\, Live Music\, was released in 2011. \nIn 2012 Joe released a tribute to one of his greatest musical heroes\, Duke Ellington. The Duke is an often radical re-interpretation of fifteen Ellington classics\, arranged into ten tracks\, and featuring an eclectic roster of guest artists including Iggy Pop\, Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson and other members of The Roots\, Sharon Jones\, Steve Vai\, and jazz violin star Regina Carter\, who joined Joe on the subsequent tour. In 2015\, Jackson announced the completion of his follow-up to The Duke. The album’s title\, Fast Forward\, and track list were confirmed in addition to North American tour dates. The titular first single was released for streaming via his official SoundCloud page. \nOn 18 January 2019\, Jackson released the album Fool. Jackson said about the album on his website: “One of my inspirations for this album was the band I’ve been touring with on and off for the last 3 years. I’ve had many different line-ups but this one is special.” Jackson and the band performed “Fabulously Absolute” on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show on 21 January 2019. Fool debuted in the top 20 album charts in Holland\, Belgium\, Germany and Switzerland. In the US\, it debuted at No. 25 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart. In the UK\, it entered the Indie Albums Chart at No. 13. \nAfter a Covid induced layoff Joe toured the US and Europe in 2022 for a tour named “Sing\, You Sinners!” featuring songs from his catalog plus a few select covers. The tour featured his band Graham Maby on Bass\, Teddy Kumpel on Guitar and Doug Yowell on Drums. Joe toured during 2024 touring both the US and Europe. \nApril 2026 will see the release of a new album “Hope and Fury” and extensive touring of both the US and Europe featuring a full band.

SUMMARY:Max Cooper | BF30
DESCRIPTION:Max Cooper is an electronic composer\, multi-disciplinary artist\, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art. \nHe holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos. \nCooper has enquired for over 15 years through music\, collaborations\, and his label Mesh\, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations\, \nperformances\, immersive experiences\, online media\, music videos and live events. Anchored throughout is his emotive approach\, connecting how ideas and forms feel\, in a manner accessible to us all. \nAs an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture\, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10-year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he \nformed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club\, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations. \n“I want to encourage the acceptance of electronic music as an art form like any other. Bringing electronic music and abstract audio-visual projects into concert halls\, museums and galleries is liberating – the art world opens up doors to communicate in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere.” \nCooper’s newest release\, On Being\, an exploration of the “desperate experience of being human”\, is his tenth studio album. Crafted over two years\, gathering thousands of anonymous quotes to use as creative fuel\, this is Cooper’s first attempt to use the experiences of his audience as inspiration for his music – rather than attempting to influence his audience’s experiences with his music. “I hadn’t realised the impact that other people’s words would have on me.” \nPivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition\, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious: \n“In both fields\, you’re in a sense\, free. Free from the limits of living systems\, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind.”

SUMMARY:A.S. Fanning
DESCRIPTION:A.S. Fanning – Take Me Back To Nowhere \nA.S. Fanning is an Irish songwriter whose music fuses the introspection of indie folk with the expansive weight of alternative rock and psychedelic music. Marked by layered textures\, melancholic atmospheres\, and his resonant baritone\, his songs confront themes of dread\, mortality\, and uncertainty. Drawing comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Scott Walker\, Fanning transforms unease into hauntingly beautiful soundscapes\, blending acoustic intimacy with subtle electronic flourishes to create a voice that is both timeless and distinctly his own. A.S. Fanning’s latest album Mushroom Cloud earned widespread acclaim in the UK\, praised for its sweeping atmospheres and unflinching lyricism. Hailed in the press as a career-defining work\, it secured him recognition as Songwriter of the Year 2023 in Far Out Magazine and cemented his reputation as one of Ireland’s most compelling voices. \nHis upcoming album Take Me Back to Nowhere was shaped by disorientation\, fracture\, and a fascination with the unstable nature of reality. Written while housebound with a broken wrist\, the album reflects both physical limitation and creative paralysis\, where endless words became overwhelming chaos. Inspired by sci-fi authors like Ursula K. Le Guin and J.G. Ballard\, the songs explore how imagination bends reality\, how anxiety reshapes the world into surreal\, isolating landscapes. \nAlongside this inner turbulence came the constant noise of global conflict\, viewed through the prism of social media\, and the sense of a collapsing moral center. The surreal spectacle of war reduced to “content” deepened a feeling of unreality\, of civilization as mere facade. His vision of confusion as a valid form of entertainment became a guiding force: instead of resisting disorder\, the album embraces it. \nThe result is a work that oscillates between intimacy and disorientation\, rooted in the belief that there is no singular reality\, only fractured personal perspectives. “Take me back to nowhere” becomes both a plea for escape and an embrace of disorientation – a return to the void that precedes and outlasts us. Conceptual\, atmospheric\, and unsettling\, the album invites listeners into the depths of confusion.

SUMMARY:Lemoncello
DESCRIPTION:It’s hard not to feel seen by Lemoncello\, a band whose live performances and recordings shimmer with the tones of modern Ireland. Their upcoming release\, Perfect Place\, evolves from the band’s folk-soaked roots and confidently explores intricate new shapes. Marking a bold new chapter for singer-songwriter Laura Quirke & cellist-arranger Claire Kinsella\, Perfect Place is imbued with assuredness\, encompassing full band recordings that weave synths and electronic percussion into the band’s staple organic sound. \nThrough an intimate and devastatingly personal style of storytelling\, the new album reflects upon the the modern tension between togetherness and alienation & the chaos of human nature with radical acceptance and compassion. Perfect Place follows on from the band’s debut self-titled record\, which received critical acclaim from BBC Radio 6 Music\, Clash\, The Line Of Best Fit. Described as “direct and refreshing”\, “cathartic” by critics at Mojo and RNR\, the duo speak to listeners in the way that an ex or an old friend might – cultivating a sense of consolation that leaves audiences forgetting there’s a world outside of the venue. Lemoncello’s body of work is equally familiar and confronting\, driven by the palpable chemistry of a long-term friendship.

SUMMARY:Genitorturers
DESCRIPTION:The Genitorturers stand as one of America’s most provocative forces in industrial metal—an electrifying collision of heavy riffs\, mechanical pulse\, and boundary‑shattering performance art. Led by the commanding presence of frontwoman Gen\, the band has carved a notorious legacy since the early ’90s\, merging the aggression of metal with the dark allure of fetish‑driven theatrics. \nTheir sound is a visceral assault: grinding guitars\, pulsating industrial beats\, and vocals that swing from seductive to savage. Anthems like “Lecher Bitch” and “Devil in a Bottle” showcase their signature blend of hedonistic themes and razor‑sharp intensity\, earning them a fiercely loyal global following. \nBut it’s onstage where the Genitorturers truly redefine the genre. Their live shows are infamous—part concert\, part shock‑art spectacle—featuring BDSM‑inspired visuals\, high‑voltage stunts\, and immersive\, taboo‑breaking performance pieces. Each show is a sensory gauntlet that leaves audiences stunned\, exhilarated\, and hungry for more. \nWith cult‑favorite releases such as Sin City and Blackheart Revolution\, the band continues to evolve while staying rooted in the industrial‑metal lineage shaped by acts like Rammstein\, Nine Inch Nails\, and Alice Cooper. Their world is one of dark glamour\, raw power\, and unapologetic rebellion.

SUMMARY:Éire to Everywhere: Stories Without Borders with Isadore Ryan
DESCRIPTION:This event offers an opportunity to hear Isadore Ryan discuss the themes\, stories and inspirations behind Irish Paris\, as well as the rich histories that connect Ireland and France. Through conversation and audience questions\, the evening will explore themes of emigration\, identity and cultural exchange\, reflecting on how Irish people have shaped and been shaped by life abroad. Closely aligned with EPIC’s exploration of the Irish diaspora\, the discussion will bring to life the vibrant and often unexpected experiences of Irish emigrants in Paris across the centuries\, before concluding with a book signing. \nTicket holders should arrive about 10 minutes before 5:30pm at the Visitor Information desk within chq. There they will be escorted to the event’s location. We would ask that you arrive no later than 5:35pm\, as it’s imperative these events begin on time to ensure the best experience for the author and for our visitors. \nAbout the Book\nIrish Paris brings the vibrant history of the Irish in the French capital to life through nearly ninety captivating portraits. From Saint Fiacre to Charles Haughey\, and from seventeenth-century vagrants to Oscar Wilde\, this book reveals the fascinating – and sometimes unexpected – ways Irish expats have shaped and been shaped by Paris\, from the seventh century to today. \nAbout the Author\n\nBorn in Dublin\, Isadore Ryan has lived outside Ireland for several decades\, largely in Paris\, but also in cities such as Frankfurt\, Milan\, Trieste\, Geneva and San Francisco\, building a career as a financial journalist and editor. \nIsadore has published three books on the Irish in Europe: ‘No Way Out—The Irish in Wartime France’\, ‘Roman Imbroglio—Italy and the Irish During World War Two’ and ‘Irish Paris—stories of famous and infamous Irish people in Paris through the centuries’. The most recent of the numerous articles he has penned\, ‘Fool of Fortune: Stanislaus Joyce’s wartime travails’\, appeared in the May/June 2026 edition of History Ireland. \nIsadore has also produced a YouTube series called ‘Forgotten Irish in Europe’ (www.youtube.com/@ForgottenIrishinEurope) and is currently completing a book on the same theme. \n\nEndorsements of Irish Paris\n“What is it they say about Paris—city of dreams\, city of lights\, city of love? It has been all these things and more to the hordes of Irish soldiers\, nobles\, priests\, writers and vagabonds who came and went over the centuries (..) Now a Paris-based writer\, Isadore Ryan\, has chronicle the stories of Irish people who left their mark on the city\, from the fleeting visit of bank robber ‘Chicago May’ Duignan from Longford\, to the writer Samuel Beckett and Margaret Kelly\, the founder of the Bluebill Girls dance troupe.” – Liam Collins\, Sunday Independent

SUMMARY:Francis of Delirium

Named as one The Guardian’s Readers Favourite Albums of 2024\, proclaimed “Luxembourg’s first Indie Queen” by Uncut\, whilst NME lauded the band for “putting Luxembourg on the map”. \nWithout stopping to catch a breath\, Francis of Delirium undertook an extensive EU and UK tour\, followed by 11 headline dates in the US and Canada\, during which time she stopped in for an electric KEXP live session of single “Give It Back To Me” as well as winning over the team at NPR. \nAfter a summer of festivals including a huge set at Primavera Sound\, Francis of Delirium was back in the UK in June supporting bôa\, the band having reformed following an incredible TikTok renaissance for their track “Duvet”. Soon after was a bucket-list support slot with no other than Alanis Morissette on home turf in Luxembourg.
