These groups are the brainchild of husband & wife team Gráinne & Mike Brookfield. Gráinne is a critically acclaimed jazz singer having been featured on RTE's Late Late Show four times, Openhouse, The Café, TV3's Morning Ireland and is a favourite on the John Creedon Show.
Mike began his performing career in London's West End in 'Elvis The Musical', 'The Sound of Fury' and 'Four Steps To Heaven'. He now performs in Dublin for visiting international artists including Rod Stewart, Ronan Keating, Westlife, Robin Gibb, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Lisa Stansfield, Enrique Iglasias, Sophie Ellis Baxter, Lionel Ritchie and Sinead O'Connor.
Holly & The Go-Lights has been successfully running since 1999 and is by far without comparison to any other band in Ireland. We only hire professional fulltime musicians who collectively create a night of entertainment often copied, but never matched!
Holly & The Go-Lights is a modern swing band, influenced by the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and The Cherry Poppin' Daddies, not to mention old favorites such as Louis Jordan and Louis Prima.
They perform a mixture of jump jive tunes, rock 'n' roll & jazz standards delivered with lively fun and energy. Great to listen to, and a treat to dance to.
