Bluesy beginnings: the foundation of rock ‘n’ roll | Ol' Times | TEDxGalway

Ol' Times will take you through their process of delivering a sound that seamlessly blends the old and the new. Breaking down the blues while demonstrating its influence in their own music. Ol' Times are well and truly on a war path to put Rock N Roll back on the map. Born in February 2019 after a chance meeting on the musical highways of Galway City. After busking and gigging their way through Europe and UK leaving their mark on every city, town and street corner they played, Ol' Times have gathered a dedicated fanbase from around the globe as well as developing an every growing following on social media.
Combining the influence of classic rock with their own original tone they create a fiery cocktail of intensely grooving sounds. The band come from various backgrounds, Argentina, Italy and the West of Ireland to be exact and have been developing their sound and energetic live set since

After touring their critically acclaimed show across Ireland and UK in 2023 they have played notable headline shows in Galway's Roisin Dubh, Whelan's Live in Dublin, All Together Now, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They are currently recording their debut album. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
