Meet the Team Behind the Series

Eric Doyle and Hayley Kabanagh

In the Groove is produced by Hayley Kavanagh and Eric Doyle, two passionate musicians and advocates for Irish jazz and the community surrounding it. After spending seven years living and performing in Prague and Berlin, the two returned to Ireland in 2023. Since then, they have immersed themselves in the Dublin jazz scene. Performing with their own projects and working as sidemen, as well as co-founding Cookin’ Dublin, a jazz event guide and jam session series, and the Arthur’s Jazz Jam at Arthur’s Blues and Jazz Club.

Hayley (saxophone and flute) and Eric (guitar), both freelance musicians, possess a deep understanding of the challenges and joys of being part of a musical community. This makes them uniquely suited to this project. They believe that platforms like In the Groove play a vital role in fostering connections and showcasing the talent that Ireland has to offer.
