The Roundy has very recently refurbished their upstairs live music venue and now boasts an intimate and comfortable space for concerts. Jukebox Gypsy are excited to be amongst the first of a handful of bands to play in their new venue. The band will release their new single aptly titled ‘The Month’ to join the fight against cancer and raise awareness for men’s health on Thursday 7th November @ 9pm. For this nationwide tour, the band chose to support Movember Ireland following the death of Ben’s father from cancer in 2009. His dad was diagnosed while Jukebox Gypsy were touring Ireland and given only three weeks to live. The band finished up the tour without Ben, before travelling over to England to attend the funeral. It was an experience that brought the group closer together and Ben went on to write ‘The Month’ about that very sad time. The story of ‘The Month’ is one of grief and loss, but the underlying message is of hope and perseverance.
