We’ve featured music from Dublin experimental folk-rock band The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock many times on Folk Radio UK including our weekly shows (listen to our Irish Music Special). Lockout, a large-scale work with the Electric Guitar Orchestra was written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1913 Dublin Lockout and debuted in 2015.
They have shared a new excerpt from a live performance at the Pepper Canister Church on Friday 16th of March 2018 as part of the Dublin St Patrick’s Festival.
Filmed and edited by No Name Video, “A Storm Driven Wave” captures the spirit of Jim Larkin, using words from Constance Marcievicz describing him, and excerpts from Jer O’Leary’s performances of Larkin Speeches.
The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock will perform Lockout in its entirety one last time at Dublin’s Unitarian Church on Saturday, February 2nd, before beginning work on their next album. Ticket info
