They’re not Jazz, so why were they at the Montreux Jazz Festival? Don’t let details get in the way of good music! Shame have been one of 2018’s musical sensations. Combining attitude, energy, and strong tunes, they’ve earned a reputation as ‘one of the most visceral and exhilarating live band from the UK’. After a storming set at Whelan’s in Dublin earlier this year, they’ll be returning to Ireland in November for a headline show at The Tivoli on Wednesday, November 21st.
Ahead of this, Dan brings you highlights from their Montreux Jazz festival performance on tonight’s show.
Recorded by Eurosonic on June 29, 2018.
