This film & music event will explore Ireland’s own jazz journey and its place in our history. From the era of the anti-jazz campaigns of the 1930s, to its influence on dancehall music nationwide during the 1940’s & 50’s, to producing one of the world’s greatest jazz guitarists—Louis Stewart whose legacy is a burgeoning jazz scene today that is recognized internationally.
The Concert will be followed by the Screening of "Jimmy’s Hall" the renowned 2014 film by Ken Loach. Jimmy’s Hall tells the story of Jimmy Gralton the only man since the beginning of the Free State in Ireland to be deported without trial. Having emigrated to the US in 1907, Jimmy returned to Ireland at the end of the Anglo-Irish War in 1921 with a desire to help and contribute to his community in Co. Leitrim. . He gathered volunteers to build a new community hall on his father’s land in Effernagh.
