THE ALBUS BEAN play rock music that was born in the late Sixties and is maturing in the 2020s. Strong, vibrant female vocals, a vast plain of keyboards, raking drums and guitars that soar. This is rock music at its finest.
UNTON CROKE are an instrumental group in the vein of Focus, some folk rock, the Mahavishnu Orchestra (perhaps less jazzed-up) and all those wonderful solo guitarists such as Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, throwing out Progressive Rock shapes with wild abandon.
Rooted in the times when music was fun and anything will go, they are full of flute and Hammond Organ, some brass and stunning guitar work.
are a modern Jazz/Swing outfit firmly set in the Forties, Fifties and Sixties, turning out the kind of music that Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone set their store by. It's all Big Band and orchestra with each song a story in itself.
Their first album, THAT'S FREEDOM, takes the listener through Jive, Swing and Jazz that runs the gamut of emotions from joy to heartbreak.
So, turn up the volume, make an ice cold beverage, put your feet up (or dance like you mean it) and let the music take you away.
