Carole Nelson Trio - Through the Storm album launch

Doors 7:30pm/Music 8:00pm

“One of the most arresting piano trios in Ireland or the UK today…...Nelson is, without question, as the refined language of her writing and playing constantly reiterates, a singular voice.” - All About Jazz

The Carole Nelson Trio's launch of their new album Through the Storm, released on Livia Records.

With Carole on piano, Cormac O’Brien on bass and Dominic Mullan on drums, the trio continues their ever-strengthening bond, spanning 10 years of performance and three previous albums.

London-born and living in Ireland since 1986, pianist and saxophonist Carole Nelson is in her fifth decade of creative music-making. She currently lives between the River Barrow and the Blackstairs Mountains - a landscape which inspires her music.

Through the Storm continues the ecological themes of Carole’s previous work. The music paints an emotive picture of nature’s resilience and fragility through the stories of two bird species- the swallow’s migratory journey and the now-extinct kauai’ o’o, continuing Carole’s engagement and concern for the natural world and our place in it. This is elegant, lyrical music, both timeless and of the moment.

Additional Information

The Cooler

The Cooler is located upstairs at The Complex Arts Centre, 12 Mary's Abbey Dublin 7. The entrance to The Cooler is through the same door as The Depot at The Complex, on the Mary's Abbey side of the building, where the LUAS tracks run. The building has a red wall on the left hand side of a front plaza that has a sign reading 'The Complex', and a blue wall facing the front plaza that has a sign reading 'The Complex - Art Lives Here'.

The plaza in front of The Complex is used by the surrounding businesses and during the day is often full of fruits, vegetables or delivery vehicles. You can still access The Cooler at these times.

Above the small blue artists' door, you'll see a painted sign for The Cooler (in black) and the Depot (in white). The Cooler is also marked by a small sign between the main glass doors (sometimes covered by blue shutters) and a blue artist's door. The glass doors will be open for performances from door times (usually 7:30pm).

The Cooler cannot be accessed from the Arran St East side of The Complex - this is the entry for the Gallery and artist studios only. If you have any trouble locating the Cooler please give Caitriona a call on 087 783 3391.
