Zeitgeist Jukebox

“A thing of delicate beauty, I wept the whole way through” The Bell Harbour Bullhorn On a night such as this, some folk meet up at an old warehouse in response to a notice on a lamppost. An invitation to join the oddest band that ever was in the making of the greatest album of the twenty-first century. Primitive recording equipment sits ready for use; the clock ticks…it’s now or never. Zeitgeist Jukebox is an immersive theatre experience framed by Little John Nee’s masterful storytelling; a soulful antidote to the disconnection of our times, and a testament to the healing power of music. Sit back relax and laugh. Should the music move you jump up and join the band. " Little John Nee is a writer/performer based in Co. Galway in the west of Ireland.
