Joe Chester : Under The Ragged Thorn (Live in Nice)

"This music stimulates the mind as much as it pleases the ear."

- The Sunday Times

"A legitimate giant of Irish music."

- Hotpress

Joe Chester's albums have been written about in the books 101 Irish Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, by Tony Clayton-Lea and Buried Treasure by Dan Hegarty and featured recently in The Sunday Times list of the best Irish albums of all time. His fifth album, The Easter Vigil, meanwhile, was named 2017 Irish Album of the Year by The Sun who described it as, "A tonic for these times, a triumph of substance over style."

Following the release in May 2020 of his 6th solo album, the critically acclaimed Jupiter’s Wife (“One of the greatest Irish albums of the decade” - Irish Daily Mirror), Joe Chester presents a full-length concert film in the sumptuous 17th century surroundings of the Église du Gesù, Nice. This career-spanning set featuring songs from his albums A Murder Of Crows, The Tiny Pieces Left Behind, The Easter Vigil as well as newer material from Jupiter’s Wife was Joe’s only concert performance of 2020.
