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.
Based in the west of Ireland Little John Nee is an award winning writer, performer and musician. He has developed a unique style of musical storytelling theatre that can be simultaneously hilarious and heart-breaking, best described as gentle punk, winning him both national and international recognition. His most recent work 'Nettle Horse' toured extensively in 2024 including performances at the Irish Cultural Centre London.
