HI OCTANE CORK SWING - JAZZ

To coin an often used, hackneyed musical phrase. "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" This lot consisting of a motley crew of Cork based Jazz Irish and U.K musicians (including a former Motorhead Roadie) certainly have that swing, in spades, Inspired by the jump / swing era of the 40s (Louis Prima, Louis Jordan etc) and updated to a sound more reminiscent of a style popularised in the early 80s by Joe Jackson and his Jump'n Jive Album, The Roaring Forties blaze through a set of Jazz standards and a couple of originals with equal parts technical chops and sheer joyous enthusiasm.

Vocalist George Patterson leads the band through lively and superbly performed songs
