Matilde Lotti & Band

An EP launch is always worth more than the recording itself. It’s the first time you hear the material with a room full of people who are discovering it at the same moment you are, and a good live performance makes you hear the record differently every time you play it afterwards.

Matilde Lotti is launching her new EP at Arthur’s Blues and Jazz Club with her full band. Her sound sits in the jazz and soul territory, with a band arrangement that fills the room properly rather than leaving it echoey. Arthur’s on Thomas Street is exactly the right venue for this kind of launch.

What to expect

8:30pm on a Thursday night in the Liberties. The format is full band set, new material, the energy of a launch night. Thomas Street on a Thursday has its own rhythm; it’s not as packed as the weekend but the people who are out tend to be in a good mood about it.

About the venue

Arthur’s Blues and Jazz Club is at 28 Thomas Street, Dublin 8. The Liberties neighbourhood puts you close to some of Dublin’s best food options before the gig: Thomas Street itself has good spots, and the surrounding streets have more.
