The “New” Velvettes are a new and improved version of the band that have played an exclusive Christmas season of shows at Farmleigh for over 10 years!
The band were formed by multi-instrumentalist musician Fran king in 2012, and reflects his love of the great American songbook of the 1940s & 50’s onwards. It has featured some wonderful guest singers over the years (Michelle Gillies / Judy O’ Connor /Fidelma Kelly / Eleanor Kenny) as the line up evolves, interpreting intimate selections of the aforementioned greats, plus old skool Christmas favourites performed with authenticity & affection.
This year the band are excited & honoured to add Irish Jazz legend Flo McSweeney to the line up as well as some fine new instrumentalists, in what promises to be two wonderful nights of Holiday favourites & timeless standards.
Doors 7.30, performance 8pm!
To avoid long waits for taxis after the event, we recommend booking a taxi in advance if required.
