Carousel Sessions have another amazing night in store with their famous Carousel Sessions. Noel O'Grady, Henry Benagh, John Carty and Marcus Hernon are coming together to play tracks from an album recorded in 1989.

The Good Mixer is an utterly brilliant album that lovers of Irish music (and of session playing in particular) will want to know about, not just because it’s an important historical document, but because the music it contains is electrifying.

This is one of the best albums of traditional Irish you’re likely to come across. The music is raw and driving with a spirit that tells a story about Irish music in London at a particular moment in time. The recording will surely bring back memories for those who were lucky enough to experience the Good Mixer in the 1980s, but it also gives the rest of us a beguiling taste of what it was like to be there.
