About

Join The After Hours Quintet for a scintillating, exhilarating jaunt through the vaults of British Trad Jazz, New Orleans Swing, Gypsy Jazz and Jump Blues.  

Led by front man Oly Clarkson on (Sax, Clarinet, Harmonica & Saw) the band has thrilled audiences from Dublin to Dubai on their decade long journey. 

Seasoned professional Danny Hammerton (Trumpet - Pasadina Roof Orchestra, Glen Miller Orchestra) and Vernon Bigsby (Hot Club of Halifax) are the two latest additions, making for a very impressive lineup alongside John Arnesen and Elliot Roffe (Ancient Infinity Orchestra) on drums and double bass. 

Expect to hear classics from the American song book blended seamlessly alongside 90's anthems; reimagined in the swing style.
