I was asked if I'd like to shoot the Tolka Hot Club in the Civic Theatre in Tallaght and I jumped at the chance. I'd shot them last year in Sin É, but I was never happy with the photos. It was very dark with minimal lighting, so it didn't make for good shots.
I'd higher hopes for this show though, I'd been to the Civic Theatre before, I knew that it was a modern theatre with great lighting, and I wasn't disappointed on the night!
I've previously described the Tolka Hot Clubs music as a bit of Jazz, with some Swung, French cabaret with a dash of the Balkans thrown in for good measure and tonight, they did it all. In between taking photos, i was treated to a beautiful night of music. I can't recommend them enough! Catch them when you can.
Now for some photos:
