It's Saturday Nite Live!
St Patrick’s Day Special with Jim Ediger & Cuckoo Jam
18:30 - 21:00, March 15, 2025
Commemorate Irish culture and St. Patrick’s Day with three veteran musicians who have performed in Tokyo for more than 20 years. Jim Ediger and Cuckoo Jam will perform their lively repertoire of traditional Irish tunes and contemporary sounds with a dynamic stage presence to offer a festive experience for members and guests.
With Jim on accordion, piano and vocals, Ken Sakamoto on guitar, mandolin, fiddle and vocals, and Taka Uchino on bagpipes and tin whistle flutes, the Cuckoo Jam trio is well-known for blending folk and Celtic influences to create a sound that feels fresh and rooted in tradition. Expect to hear an array of upbeat, toe-tapping Irish classics that capture the spirit of the holiday celebrated around the world by the Irish diaspora and their hosts.
And to ensure you can really celebrate, our friends at ANAC have arranged for Guiness beer, and to accommodate a larger audience the Main Bar venue will be expanded into the dining room. So come along with your family, friends and colleagues for the best Irish music in Tokyo and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in style!
