From the mid-1960s until the present day, the Beatles have held a fascination for jazz musicians, with jazz greats such as Count Basie, Herbie Hancock and Brad Mehldau all recording numerous songs by the Fab Four. Our co-founder and pianist Scott Flanigan continues this tradition in 2022 with a special one-off concert celebrating 60 years since the Beatles’ debut single, Love Me Do. Scott has arranged two sets of music by the Beatles for piano trio, focusing on some of the well known classics but the lesser-known songs as well.

The Two Five One’s are back in the Oriel Centre, Dundalk Gaol on Saturday 22nd of November at 8pm for some pre- Christmas madness. Lots of classic music from The American Songbook along with our own original songs that fit the genre.

This show was sold out on our last two visits, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Enjoy a Speakeasy experience in the beautiful setting of The Oriel Centre in Dundalk as vintage jazz and blues duo, The Two Five Ones and guests take you back in time with music from the 1920s right through to the 1950s ....and beyond.

Their repetoire spans music from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s along with some of their own original compositions from the two studio albums.

Testimonials from last year's Speakeasy Night in the Gaol:

''Captivating night in old Dundalk Gaol . We had magical music, stunning singing and a relaxed charming atmosphere. The songs were a trip down memory lane and the whole evening gave us a wonderful feel good factor. Dressing in 1920 style really added to the fun and provided a unique experience.''- Attracta

''I would like to share a note to let you know how much I enjoyed the Speakeasy Night in Dundalk Gaol last year. I’m really excited for the event again this year. The setting is rare to say the least, but very astute for the event. The band are so talented and gave variety with a number of guest singers also. You don’t have to dress up in 1920’s to enjoy but it definitely added to our experience and don’t be afraid to get up and dance, there is no prohibition on dancing.'' - Pearl

In 1977, Weather Report released “Heavy Weather”, with Joe Zawinul’s iconic “Birdland” opening the set, Wayne Shorter’s lyrical ballad “A Remark You Made,” and Jaco Pastorius redefining what the electric bass could do on “Teen Town”. The record brought jazz to a wider audience without sacrificing its adventurous spirit. Featuring the band’s classic lineup — Zawinul, Shorter, Pastorius, Alex Acuña, and Manolo Badrena — Heavy Weather remains a landmark in jazz history: sophisticated, soulful, and endlessly grooving.
