This 2-piece band Jenny O’Keeffe and Niall O’Riordan come together to entertain to the maximum with an extensive, powerful and energetic set list of Acoustic, rock, pop and chart, past and present.
One of Cork's finest traditional and folk sessions. A different blend of musicians every week but always the same result; daecent music and mighty craic.
The Jeff Ballard Fairgrounds makes music that feels like the 21st century – open, fluid and ever-developing, a sound informed by jazz but truly coming to life where worlds collide: acoustic and electric, swinging and ambient, analog and digital, accessible and experimental.
Tasty Thursday Sessions with Declan Hogge playing the music of Planxty, Paul Brady, Bob Dylan etc. Combination of guitar, mandolin and mouth organ along with a strong voice.
