Gerry Godley

Gerry Godley, a musical dilettante indulges his love of world music on Reels to Ragas. A late convert to a life in music and the arts, he spent many years in the catering business and this qualified chef has all the cuts and callouses to prove it. He cooks a mean bouillabaise.

As Director of the resource organisation Improvised Music Company, established in 1991, Gerry presides over and programmes a diverse and busy schedule of musical activity which includes ESB Dublin Jazz Festival, the critically acclaimed World Music Series ESB Routes in Rhythm, as well as regional touring, IMC Records and The Pendulum Jazz Club.

He's also a well regarded saxophonist, the main outlet for which is his labour of love,The Night in Havana Orchestra, a 20 piece outfit that brings leading Irish and Latin musicians together to play Afro-Cuban big band music.
