ThinkPunk Friday’s are for games and jams and getting together, mixing styles, languages and smiles; people getting to know each other collaborating and enjoying the whole thing. We have table tennis, fussball table, darts…but most of all we have our music room with no sign ups, no lists, just plug in and play with others. Sometimes it is magical, sometimes not, but always it is unique and amazing.
We are so happy to welcome many new people every time. If you wanna join us for the next Jam&Games you can do so HERE!
Take a look at some photos below and have a listen to a quick selection of tunes from the night!

NEUBRÍ will open our BlueBellBeats Twilight Series on 17th September!
NeuBrí afrobeats mashup coming to ThinkPunk Studios as part of BlueBellBeats Twilight Series.
This autumn we have a packed and diverse programme of music coming to ThinkPunk. It is now the time to announce the band we are really excited to see live as our BlueBellBeats Live opening act on the 17th September. NeuBrí is all about energy, fantastic craftsmanship of the notes and pure happiness on stage and dance floor. The name comes from the word New, and the Irish word ‘Brí’. It means new expression, new energy new vibes. The band loves afrobeats, RnB, hip hop and pop music. But truly whatever genre they play there is always a unique spin on it.
NeuBrí came about quite organically. Michael and Stephen both grew up in Clondalkin and had played with each other a few times before 2020 at church events. Stephen and Leslie met online and had a jam session in early 2020..
We all became closer in 2021 as we began to play with each other more at church gigs and held jam sessions. Our love of music and wanting to do more was often the topic of conversation on journeys home. None of us were thinking about forming a group yet. We kept jamming and as a result became closer.
A close friend was going to hold a birthday party and asked that we perform at it, taking popular afrobeat songs and playing along to them. We jumped at the idea and put together a list of songs that would fit. The friend didn’t end up having the birthday but we had already done so much work that we decided we would release it anyways. This was where NeuBrí was born.
We agreed on what the band would stand for and what we hoped to gain from it. From there we got everything in order for our first release.
Since we started this journey we have been very lucky to play with Irish acts that we do like their music and also headline with one of the biggest artists from nigeria ASAKE.
The year is set to be an amazing run of gigs, we can't wait to announce lots more dates we will be performing live.
For more information, make sure to follow us on all our media platforms @Neubríofficial.

SVIATYJ - will perform at ThinkPunk on 15th October as part of BlueBellBeats Twilight Series
Right there, where the folk meets the blues, where the shadow of old wooden orthodox churches meets voodoo rituals, right there stands Sviatyj. There is spirituality and madness, rhythm and words, there are folk songs understandable only at night and with an open heart.
It’s really exciting to share with you another piece of news about our BlueBellBeats Twilight Series. Another night was added with an amazing act connecting american blues with the sounds of Galicyan folk. Galicya is a region in Eastern Europe that comprises of parts of South East Poland and Western Ukraine. In those lands languages mix, cultures feed of each other, art connects and music carries the message of togetherness, melancholy and most of all - loss. Get ready for a feast, get ready for magic.
There is a metaphysical connection between Galicya and Arkansas, between the Bug River and the Delta of the Mississippi. Right there, where the folk meets the blues, where the shadow of old wooden orthodox churches meets voodoo rituals, right there stands SVIATYJ. There is spirituality and madness, rhythm and words, there are folk songs understandable only at night and with an open heart.
Кажуть, що є метафізичне сполучення між Галичиной а Арканзас, між рікою Буг, а дельтою Міссісіпі. Там де зберігається фольклор, блюз, тіні старих церкв та ритуалів вуду, стоїть він - Sviatyj. Є в цьому ритм та слово, є прості народні пісні зрозуміле тільки в ніч і тільки з відкритим серцем

The good news keep coming, we have yet another exciting announcement for our BlueBellBeats Live Series! We’re delighted to let you know that on the 1st of October our stage will be full of beautiful vibes with Kasia Eliasz and her 9 piece band! Get ready for the groove!
Kasia Eliasz and 9-piece band
Kasia Eliasz Brazilian Jazz Quintet, Ta Tum Tum!, jazz harpist and a sax/flute player. And everything in one place at once! Extremely energetic, fun and musically rich group will be taking you for a journey to Brazil through samba, bossa nova and jazz!

With the Quintet she will be playing at 20th Bydgoszcz Jazz Festival ’22 in Poland.
Brazilian rhythms have its roots in Africa and are one of the most recognisable rhythms in the world. Samba is enacted most spectacularly in the Brazilian Carnaval celebrations, which have captured the global imagination in its pulsating rhythms, its decadent revelry, its extroverted performativity and its extravagant exhibitionism.
And this is what this 9-piece band is about! Sharing the most colourful and happy celebration in the world!
Kasia is a recipient of Music Bursary 2022 from Riverbank Arts Centre. Her artistic work has been also funded by the Arts Council, Kildare County Council, Creative Ireland and Department of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Gaeltacht, Sports & Media.

Refugee Week at ThinkPunk
It was very powerful to see so many people celebrating the success of people who fled their country, found safety in Ireland and are now shaping the future of the country.

#ReturnToLive
First Live Show at ThinkPunk Studios
On 2nd of July 2021 we have hosted our first Live Gig at ThinkPunk. It was a part of PolskaÉire Festival which runs continuously from 2015, and we have been involved in production and selection of music for the festival since then. This time for obvious reasons the concert had taken place online.
The idea for the festival and the concert itself is to showcase the talent from both Ireland and Poland, give the stage to up and coming artists as well as invite well established big names from the music scene in both countries. The musicians have been collaborating on our stage for years, enjoying the act of creation as well as meeting of the like minded musicians and working on something special to entertain the audience in Ireland.
This time with travel restrictions in space we turned to the internet, which in a way allowed us to expand the experience and involve both audiences and artists from far away as well as produced our very own set up in the studios.
With appearances from Greg Clifford, Marlea, Ronan O’Snodaigh, Jacek Szymkiewicz, Kayah and the Fusion Band with Dawid Kondraciuk, Jozef Rzepkowski, Barnaba Dorda and Marcin Nowak we truly had a blast and a fun evening.
//the video was produced by Rafal Kostrzewa and sound was mixed by Marcin Nowak
Special Thanks to Marcin Szulc, Wojciech Kostka, Marta Kruk, Ginger and Maciej Pac
