The musical styling of Keara Rose Sheeran, Tony Higgins, Peter Joyce, Aengus Hackett and John O'Dwyer have come together to re-create the booming sounds of an era when 'The Rat Pack' roamed.

The Nickel Club 5 are set to perform their debut gig this Friday, 9 May in the Warwick Hotel Salthill.

They will set the stage alight with their unique swing and jazz fusion, combining up tempo numbers with softer, easy listening tunes, capturing the greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra and Glen Miller.

These talented musicians have already impressed audiences across the city with their rousing drum beats, sax solos, rhythmic double bass and strong vocal melodies.

Now they have come together as a group to bring you the best in music from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s. With Tony Higgins on drums, Peter Joyce on sax, Aengus Hackett on guitar and John O'Dwyer on double bass, The Nickel Club 5 have a strong instrumental core, uniting contemporary jazz with a modern twist.

Combined with the vocal ability of lead singer, Keara Rose Sheeran, The Nickel Club 5 bring a new sound, uniting an era of generations gone by with the modern age.

Local dance club Galway Swing is proud to introduce The Nickel Club 5 as part of its ongoing commitment to providing the best in entertainment and culture from the 1920s to the 50s.

If you love swing, jazz and jive, or you simply need a break from the norm, you will thoroughly enjoy this exciting new band, created especially by Galway Swing for The Nickel Club.
