Good afternoon folks!

"Gentle Autumn,

this year you came,

Folding in around us like silk..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_IbJ25JEM4 -

Holding onto Autumn / You Must Believe in Spring from my first album, The Secret of a Rose.

Friday, Nov 25, 8-10pm, Le Petit Breton, 14 Drumcondra Rd. Lr with Julien Colarossi

Ok, but what I'm ESPECIALLY looking forward and delighted to announce is:

Sunday, December 4, 7pm Sandford Church, Ranelagh, Dublin 6

Emilie Conway Quintet: "Winter Wonderland" Jazz Concert

The last concert of the year with my full band family - Johnny Taylor - piano, Julien Colarossi - guitar, Damian Evans - bass and Domnic Mullan - drums! We all know how tricky it is these days to find a mutually convenient time for even 2 people to meet up - trying to get 4 of the top, and most in demand musicians in the country together for one gig around the busy Christmas season: it's a Miracle on Sandford Rd!

And ......we'll be performing some of our own brand new arrangements of Christmas songs created especially for this concert along with some old favourites, poems and stories. Anyone who's been to Sandford church will know it's a very special place with beautiful sound, stained glass windows and a grand piano so this will be a very special concert. Proceeds going to Harold's Cross Hospice - so do tell your friends and come along. And we'll be performing that concert again, Thurs 15th at RVACC Derry!

For those of you who supported our Molly Mc Nally fundraiser in the National Concert Hall last year - you'll be happy to know Molly is still healthy and well and cancer free.
