Our debut album, Tolka Hot Club, will be featured tonight and throughout the week on Blue Of The Night on RTÉ lyric fm
We would like to thank Bernard Clarke for his support in showcasing music by independent artists. Having the ability to reach a national radio audience is amazing.
Tune in!

Hello from Innsbruck. Playing at the accordion world championships this week. It’s been 12 years since I’ve been here, still as amazing as I remember it.

I love little badges (the cool kids call them pins these days) and this one really struck a chord (pun very much intended)

That time I was playing Christmas music…in June!

As we have moved into December I can finally break out the Christmas music on Classic Sunday on Dublin South FM

Along with festive treats I’ll have great new music from @deltasax.bsky.social
@paulhoneymusic.bsky.social
…

I always enjoy the moment of quiet calm before a rehearsal begins.
A moment to reflect before the madness.

This is the tired reflection of a guy who has lost track of how many rehearsals/classes he’s done this week.

He’s still hoping you’ll come and see The Tolka Hot Club in Arthur's Blues & Jazz Club tomorrow.
4-6pm

❤️🎶

So, I play in a band (several actually but that’s another story) and we’ve got an afternoon gig this Sunday.

Hair a bit frizzy but in fairness it was a full on rehearsal!

#100DaysOfPractice - Day 42

I was practising some pieces earlier for our evening band rehearsal.
Some fast flowing tunes coupled with a beautiful new original piece that hasn’t been played publicly yet.

The Tolka Hot Club will be rounding out the year in one of our favourite venues, Arthur’s, this coming Thursday.
We have some cracking music lined up for you 🎶

Come and join us!

It’s not a Christmas song per se, but it’s associated with this time of year.
Taught it to a student tonight and now it’s in my head!

When you wish upon a Bear…

Mr Bear hanging out in the rehearsal studio.

The Tolka HotClub will be playing Sin-É this coming Saturday night!

It’s a recording day for @thetolkahotclub today.
I can’t help but feel a presence though…

I suppose I should say hello now that I’m here.
Hello. 👋
I’m a musician, playing mostly
accordion, saxophone and conducting.
Lots on the go at the moment, had the pleasure of attending a wonderful play last week that I recorded for earlier in the year.
