What's on: Monday, June 10
A weekly Monday night gig with The Americhanics - an intimate harmony driven trio session with members of Crazy Chester, playing all the songs of the greats in Folk, Roots and Americana music.
Hank Wedel and Ray Barron have been playing Monday nights in Charlie's on Union Quay since 1994. An acoustic guitar/vocal and mandolin duo, they host a session that has acquired legendary status in Cork, with musicians and singers from near and far joining them through the years. Hank sings and plays guitar, Ray plays mandolin and the pair play everything from Bob Dylan to Finnish waltzes.
Andy Dunne continues his Monday night residency in The Oliver Plunkett, playing a wide range of covers and of course his own original material.
Join them every Monday at 7.30pm for Céilí by the Lee, Cork’s premier Irish dancing experience. Recreate the scenes from below decks in the Titanic, without the sinking feeling! Beginners are always welcome, no partner required.
The Alkove are a five-piece Cork-based band who deal in blues, soul and rock and roll. The bands original material has been likened to CCR, The Stones, Oasis, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, The Kinks among many others. Having recently released their 3rd single “Wait A Minute”, and played Cork Opera House with Aslan, the band are currently combining hard gigging with additional studio work. The live shows are where the band are most at home. The Burma are an indie rock n’roll band based in Cork City. Influenced by the American Indie scene of the early 2000’s and British guitar bands of the 80s and 90s, The Burma’s jangly guitars and bouncy basslines make for refreshingly melodic songs.

Bennie Reilly’s work has always dealt with aspects of the natural world and its peculiarities. Her latest exhibition, The New Past, is a collection of paintings and sculptural objects that present a flux of both accepted and questionable historical fact. Informed by an interest in museology, it is built upon an eclectic accumulation of curios and photographic research.
