The legendary Bagfull Of Songs makes a welcome return to Sarsfields on Friday February 11th, with a stellar line up which includes Temple Annie and the Tom Anderson Band.
Following a two-year absence due to covid, the night is guaranteed to get everyone revelling in the joy of live music once again.
Almost two years in the making, local six-piece outfit Temple Annie take to the stage for the first time with some familiar faces making a return to the gigging scene.
The original quartet of Ciara Callaghan, Geoff Fay, Amanda Maples and Ants Kierans are joined by Gavan Kierans and Jack White (both of 1980s contenders Dorian Mood) who add a few shades of greay to the proceedings.
Boasting a heady mixture of superbly crafted songs and deliciously-toned vocals courtesy of main song-writers Callaghan (vocals, guitar) and Maples (percussion, vocals), Fay’s searing guitar is complimented by White’s keyboards and topped off with the dynamic and driving rhythms of Ants Kierans (drums) and Gavan Kierans (bass guitar).
Channelling diverse influences from as varied a sphere as Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac to Bowie, Beatles and Bacharach, this looks like a debut not to be missed.
The Tom Anderson Band features the main man himself (above) on lead vocals and guitar, with Gavin McDonnell, Baz Molloy, Ken Brown and Frank Madden completing the line-up.
Expect some rockin tunes from the greats, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Bowie, Cream etc al, with a few of Toms classic originals thrown in.
A one-off night not to be missed, get there early, Sarsfields back lounge February 11.
