For the past few years the date of the Vibe has fallen on or around a weekend, and when this happens we like to run an all-ages gig for the young rockers out there (are you out there?!). Happily we're in the same position for 2016 and so the Young Rockers Vibe will be held once again at The Grand Social in Liffey Street Dublin!

As we've said before, it's our way of encouraging the next generation of muso's and music lovers by providing them with a platform and exposure and we think Philip would be very happy with the idea as he was always very supportive of younger bands (just ask Bob Geldof and Huey Lewis!).

This year the matinee will be held on the day before the Vibe at The Grand Social with great acts such as Elevation Falls, Crojayn, Ryan Jai, Reprisal, Rubenne, Tara Killeen and Rocky Whelan.

See below for more details

The Young Rockers Matinee - Sun. 3rd Jan 2.30pm @ The Grand Social (35 Lower Liffey Street Dublin 1).

Crojayn was formed in September 2013 by Jordan Morrison and Cian Mullane. However, it now consists of four members. They are: Cian Mullane (lead guitar), Jordan Morrison (lead singer and songwriter), David O'Mahony (bass) and Shane Collins (drums). It is a Rock/Blues/Alternative band from Cork and pulls many of its inspiration from various artists such as Rory Gallagher, Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters & Sonny Boy Williamson I and II

The name stems from a culmination of two ideas. The name "Crow Jane" is a title of an old blues song from the early 20th century. A huge part to our sound is about taking ideas from the past, putting our own twist on them and bringing them to the now, so by contemporising its spelling, we came to the name "Crojayn".

As well as revitalising old songs, we write a lot of our own material. Many bands get stuck doing too much covers so we make it our main priority to create songs that are new, fresh and exciting but still maintaining a strong link to our many influences.

20 Year Old, Ryan Jai is a singer/songwriter from Kilkenny Ireland whose passion is to perform on the world stage with his songs and compositions.

Ever the performer, Ryan Jai started writing his own songs at about 13 years old and it was only when he entered one of his songs in a development programme that visited his school, was the quality of his work and performance soon realised. As a solo artist, Ryan Jai's mastery of the loop station into his performance has brought a great buzz and energetic vibe to his gigs.
