Serious, The National Concert Hall and Culture Ireland present a new series spanning indie electronic, bluegrass, folk-pop, trad and jazz improvisation, running November 13th to 20th across London venues.
New for 2026, Serious and the National Concert Hall, supported by Culture Ireland, present Éire Eile (Another Ireland), a brand new series within the EFG London Jazz Festival with Le Boom, AE MAK, Robocobra Quartet, Negro Impacto and Muireann Bradley among the artists on the lineup.
It invites audiences to look beyond the horizon and discover contemporary Irish musicians from across the four corners of Ireland, taking in high-energy indie electronic, bluegrass, spoken-word art-rock experimentation, kitschy folk-pop, Irish trad and jazz improvisation.
The lineup runs from the electronic adventures of Le Boom and AE MAK‘s art folk songs to the experimental jazz-psych-rock of Robocobra Quartet and Córas Trio’s Irish trad turned jazz improvisation.
Shows take place in London venues including Village Underground, the ICA, Stone Nest, Vortex Jazz Club and The Jago, with the series also taking root at the festival’s pop-up venue The Jazz Social, which hosts DJs and an all-levels Irish-language pop-up Gaeltacht.

- Friday November 13th – Muireann Bradley @ Stone Nest
- Sunday November 15th – Le Boom with support from AE MAK @ Village Underground
