Love Minus Zero - playing the music of Bob Dylan

Whether you’re a die hard Dylan fan from the start or a new fan, you won’t want to miss this gig … Love Minus Zero guarantee a great set of classic Dylan tunes and more on the night, taking in material from the 60’s and onwards. Love minus Zero came together in May this year with the idea of gigging the Dylan tunes that we all wanted to play at one time or another, and to share his music with his many fans out there.

The band’s name might be new to you, but the guys involved are no strangers to JJs,

playing in many of the bands that are already well-known there, including Parchman Farm, The Hightones, Hollywood Slim and the Fat cats, Salvo Blues Band and others.

 

The band’s members have also played all of the major blues, jazz, country festivals, and venues throughout the country over the years in various outfits.

 

The lineup in addition to Pete Mc Gowan – Guitar, Ciaran Brougham – Bass, and Fran Dowling –Drums, are keyboards whiz Vinnie O’ Connor (Cantaloupe, Don Baker, Ben Prevo, etc) Guitarist and multi instrumentalist Pat Mc Sweeney (Rye River Boys) and Simon    Bolger - an excellent singer songwriter in his own right - who found time between writing   and recording his own material to get this up and running.   Special guest on the night with the band will be Violinist Oona McFarland   …   make a note in your diary and get there early for this one!!
