One For The Road: A Road Records Benefit & Celebration

Andrew’s Lane Theatre
Andrew's Lane, Dublin 2
€20 + booking fee | 8pm - 2.30am

On January 15th 2009, Road Records of Fade Street in Dublin City announced that it would soon be closing its doors for the final time. Over the last 11 years, Road Records has been a passionate torch-bearer for the spirit of independent music in Ireland. In Dave, Julie & Dylan, you had some of the friendliest, most knowledgeable and helpful folk you could ever hope to introduce you to new music, and the imminent loss of Road Records will be felt acutely by musicians and punters alike. To celebrate the legacy of Road Records, and to help towards the debts incurred by Dave & Julie in keeping the shop open during hard times, there will be in Andrew’s Lane on March 14th a wonderful array of live music from some the brightest lights in independent Irish music. This is a clarion call for supporters of independent music to show solidarity with one of its great Irish institutions, and to collectively ensure that those independent retailers that still remain get the support they badly need to survive, and to show that personality, variety & soul, so perfectly embodied by Road, are not outmoded retail concepts.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -

“… unforgettable … an extraordinary blossoming … Clarinets, pianos and strings billow out over 54 sublime minutes of what is their best work yet.”
****
The Ticket / Irish Times

“It’d take at least 5 years to produce something as accomplished and inventive as this!”
****1/2
Hot Press

“An indelible chronicle of nine musicians contributing to a singular and necessary vision”
State Magazine

“… it has been worth the wait, as Spectre & Crown is easily their finest work to date. From the opening piano chord of Red Tony, to the final note of Last Breath, The Jimmy Cake hardly put a foot wrong.”
Totally Dublin

“Spectre & Crown is The Jimmy Cake’s most arresting album to date.”
Sunday Times

“This record is simply a work of extreme orchestral splendour.”
****
Sunday Tribune

“By turns minimalistic and multi-layered, Spectre & Crown has moments of astonishing beauty. There are plenty of captivating tracks too – soaring and emotive.”
****
Day & Night / Irish Independent

“… one of the most coherent, beautiful albums of the year so far.”
entertainment.ie

“The album is a moving, sweepingly beautiful, orchestral epic with nine life-enhancing tracks of such diversity and scope that it’s hard to fathom that just nine people made it.
… few records will reach the heights that this royally brilliant piece of work reaches. An instant and longterm classic.”
