Social media comes in for a lot of flack and, in many cases, rightfully so. However, if it wasn't for Twitter, I wouldn't have come across bands like Danny G and the Major 7ths.
Back in January 2021, they released 'The Lookout' but due to Covid restrictions, no album launch happened at the time. Tonight though, in the Sugar Club, and over a year later, The Lookout finally had it's release party and what a party it was!
The night kicked off with a great set from Holly Pereira (Tolka Hot Club) who got the crowd vocally warmed up. At one stage, the audience was happily singing along in Spanish, and I don't me that old Irish favourite 'Olé Olé Olé'!
After that it was time for the headliners of the night, Danny G and the Major 7ths. To start with, Danny came out, guitar in hand, and played an old Irish trad song called 'Do You Love An Apple'. If you've not heard the song before, check out this version by the Bothy Band. After that, the rest of the band joined Danny on stage and the crowd left their seats and started dancing the night away in front of the stage.
Towards the end of the night, a couple of special guests arrived up on stage. Who? Only Jamel Franklin and Tolü Makay, that's who and they performed 'D.A.R.L.I.N.G.' One more song and then that was that and we all went out in to the cold Dublin night... Well, I did, other stayed on to dance into the small hours!
Anyway, on to the photos! First up it's Danny G and the Major 7ths.
