Welcome to In the Groove, a brand-new YouTube series from Jazz Ireland, where we bring you closer to the artists shaping the vibrant Irish jazz scene.
In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with John Keogh, one half of the guitar duo Julien & John, alongside Julien Colarossi. This duo will be releasing their new album ‘A Little bit about where we’re from’ at the end of the year, so make sure to keep an ear out for that.
During the interview, John spoke about how he got into music, how the duo met and began collaborating, the inspiration behind the new album, their previous releases, and his thoughts on the ever-evolving Irish scene.
More information about the duo can be found on their Instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/julienandjohnofficial/reels/
