“Gifts We Can Barely Carry: JFK in Ireland” with Kevin Farley is a “concert documentary” about the role music and song played in JKF’s four-day visit in 1963, and his use of Irish songs and poetry to amplify his message. From songs about the 1798 Rebellion sung by student choruses to fun songs sung by the Bunratty Castle singers to jigs danced by step dancers, Kevin combines his musical talents with film clips of JFK quoting Irish song lyrics in speeches throughout his trip.

The original elements of the band start-ed up in 1990 when Joe Masters decided to pull together local musicians to play traditional jazz. In the early days they were known as The Classic Jazz Ensemble. By 1995, however, a core group of players emerged – three of whom continue to the present day! Soon the band developed a musical style of its own and gained a reputation for quality of play and a band-stand humor that audiences find amusing. The name was upgraded to The Riverboat Stompers, and appearances followed at a variety of venues. They make their Southgate debut this evening.
