Riptide Movement among top Irish acts to play East Cork's Sea Church

Irish indie rock band The Riptide Movement will be performing at Sea Church in Ballycotton, as part of the Autumn/Winter schedule.

The Riptide Movement, who have produced songs such as All Works Out, Elephant In The Room and Changeling, will be performing at the East Cork venue on Saturday December 13.

Among the other live shows at Sea Church over the coming months will include ‘Remembering Ronnie,’ a tribute to the late Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners and will be performed by his son Phelim Drew on September 27.

Also performing at Sea Church over the next few months will be Bagatelle, The Four Of Us, Don Baker, Paddy Casey and Eleanor McEvoy, as well as speed quizzing and the newly formed ‘Sea Church Cinema.’

Charity night for Palestine

Meanwhile, Sea Church will also host a charity night for Palestine later this year with details soon to be released.

Attendees at all Sea Church gigs now have the option of using the Sea Church Express, which is a return shuttle service to Ballycotton.

The bus departs Cobh, passing through Midleton, Cloyne and Shanagarry. It brings people to Ballycotton 90 minutes before showtime to allow time for a bite to eat in the restaurant or a drink at the bar. The bus leaves 30 minutes after the show concludes.

Events manager with Sea Church Matthew Sisk said: “After the success of the summer’s events we’re super excited to put on a range of gigs and performances throughout autumn and into the Christmas season.

“It’s great to offer such variety for people from East Cork and beyond. We also recently introduced Sea Church Cinema, where attendees can enjoy classic films, some freshly made salty popcorn along with a Murphy’s or Heineken – or their favourite drink.

“These nights have proven really popular so far and the venue really lends itself to the atmosphere we’re going for.”
