Poles Apart

Poles Apart, with members Erwin Zebro (trumpet), Pawel Sokol (bass guitar), Tomasz Chlebowski (piano), Lukasz Romanski (drums) and Michal Szulc (percussion), formed in Mielec, Poland, in 2005. They toured Ireland in a previous incarnation when they were known as The Whisky Band (wit Pawel Kolodziej Saxophone).

With influences ranging from Sonny Rollins to Chick Corea, from Chuck Mangione to Dixiland and from Michel Camilo to traditional Polish music their music features many of the great rock'n'roll standards but they make 'em all their own!

Not content with being a rock'n'roll band Poles Apart also play a neat combination of Latino jazz, funk and blues which, with their Polish romantic sensibilities, makes their music a great fusion of excellent sound and fiery Polish temper.

Having already played in many places around Ireland, including the world famous Cork Jazz Festival in 2005 and 2006, Poles Apart are no strangers to this country and guarantee their audience a fantastic time!

The gig is completely free and open to all, it kicks off in Club Head Bang Bang in The Greyhound Bar on Monday April 9th at 9:00 p.m. with Tralee based support from The Scenes.
