About

We are delighted to welcome Bea Maher and LAVERY, two of the best new neo soul / jazz fusion acts around at the moment, to open our 2025 Jazz Festival programme.

LAVERY is a collective of musicians playing jazz fusion and neo soul from Dublin, they are an 8 piece band made of some of the most sought after session players in the city. Established in 2023, the band combines over 50 years’ worth of playing experience among its members from varied musical backgrounds. The band consists of members from different countries and music performance colleges (BIMM, DCU's Jazz Program (Newpark)), with these cultural and technical backgrounds their sound is one of a kind.

Throughout their short tenure, they have had a meteoric rise and played in prestigious Irish venues such as Lost Lane, Dashi, The Racket Space and a Culture Night event in The Sugar Club and are hungry to establish themselves on the European scene.
Lavery is a band that grows and shines by the energies created by both the performers and the audience. It's a living breathing organism, fronted by the fantastic Anelise Furkin, whose powerful and unique voice guides their punchy but mature style.
