A chance to hear a sneak preview of the record this Wednesday 02nd December on 4FM (94FM/104FM). Allen Smith, presenter of Jazz on 4, will play track 4 from the record called Mĕserёv between 9pm and 10pm. The show is also stored on the 4FM site for a week after its air date. Link to 4FM website and comments below. Cheers Allen!

"The next tune is by two musicians from Ireland called Eddie Rooney, on amplified nylon string guitar and James Rooney on tabla, percussion and electronics. Their band is called Jung Turks and this track has a very contemporary sound and is beautifully moody and gentle. The two Rooneys say that among their influences are Anouar Brahem, Jan Garbarek, Charles Mingus and Miles Davis. This track is from their debut CD due to be released at The Stables, Mullingar on next Friday the 4th. So here is “Mĕserёv” on 4FM."

“What’ll it be fellas?”

“Whatevers real bad– how bowt you Bobby?”

“Sounds good to me”

“You know what it’s gonna cost?”

“Uh huh”



Taking a seat in the corner they watch the door and the girls.

“We started out in a real bright place, how’d we end up here”

“I have a fair idea”.

Both men look around again, see where they are.



“Soooo……whadda we do now”

“Mmmmm…” Bob lets out a long breath ”…doing something, that seems like a thing to do”

“Sure does,

you know they’re gonna wanna

name outta us”





“Yup..

well





you know,





whatever you call it,

don’t change what it is”





The lights flash, the bells ring and the shuffle starts.

“I guess its time, you ready brother?”

“Yeah, you?”



“Mmmmmmmmm sure, you?..









“E.h...”
