This year we present Beethoven’s much loved 5th symphony, sometimes described as his ‘Fate Symphony’ because of his famous four note opening motif, often referred to as ‘fate knocking on the door’.
Joining us for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21, will be internationally renowned soloist Michael McHale. This concerto, often called the ‘Elvira Madigan’ concerto because of its use in the Swedish film of the same name, is a firm favourite with concert goers.

James Vincent McMorrow
2024-11-29 19:30 - 22:30 | Cork City Hall, Anglesea Street, Cork, Cork, IE
Live at City Hall, Cork on Friday 29 November 2024. Final tickets available now.

James Vincent McMorrow
Date: Friday 29 November 2024
Time: Doors 7:30pm
Location: Cork City Hall
Irish singer-songwriter James Vincent McMorrow releases his seventh studio album, Wide open, horses, via Nettwerk Music Group. The album release follows the singles “Never gone,” “Give up,” “Call me back,” and “Things we tell ourselves,” and the announcement of an extensive tour across Ireland and North America. Wide Open, Horses is a candid snapshot of everything that has brought McMorrow to this point. The album signifies a retaking of his narrative, a freeing self-acceptance, and a rebuilding of both his sense of self and his connection to music.James Vincent McMorrow has beckoned listeners to open their minds and hearts since his emergence in 2010. Along the way, he gathered over 1 billion streams across an expansive catalog. Among many standouts, “Higher Love” went BPI Gold in the UK and ARIA platinum in Australia. His cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” soundtracked the trailer for Season Six of HBO’s Game of Thrones and generated over 130 million Spotify streams on its Live At Killkenny Arts Festival version. Toppling charts, 2016’s We Move notably debuted at #1 in Ireland. At the same time, he lent his voice to “Hype” from Drake’s multiplatinum blockbuster Views, “I’m In Love” from Kygo’s Cloud Nine, and “Run Away” from dvsn’s Morning After, among others. 2022’s surprise album The Less I Knew arrived to critical acclaim as Variance attested, “It makes for the perfect listen in the midst of these complicated times, brimming with emotion and candidly confronting struggle while also looking to a brighter day.” Meanwhile, he’s sold-out tours on multiple continents, even packing the world-famous Sydney Opera House twice.In Wide open, horses, McMorrow rewards audiences with remarkable openness and vulnerability. From the uncertain first performances of these songs to an unsuspecting audience, inviting his young daughter Margot to record the heart-wrenching yet playful duet on “give Up,” to even recording “stay Cool” in a single take, McMorrow lays himself bare. By reclaiming his identity, he has crafted an album that is beautifully transparent and honest.

The Unthanks in Winter
2024-11-29 20:00 - 22:30 | Live at St Luke’s, Summerhill North, T23 XE29 Cork, Cork, T23 XE29, IE
The Unthanks will release and tour In Winter; a dream-like winter fantasia, embracing both the dark and the light!

The Unthanks In Winter
When December draws near, The Unthanks will release and tourIn Winter- a double-album,gatefold, dream-like winter fantasia, embracing both the dark and the light in the most ritualistic ofseasons. Moving in and out of focus – like a memory – a bittersweet hymnal to our shared winterexperience. Echoes of winter tunes known throughout the western world, mix with the traditionaland the newly written, all passed with great care and love through The Unthanks filter.
In Winter is an abstract new work that captures the warmth and nostalgia of the festive season,the chill and darkness of the winter months, and the reflective ritualisms of the turn of the year;the end and beginning of the circle of life. You will hear what a Tyneside band playing a GermanChristmas song in the style of The Beach Boys sounds like! A Spanish carol performed by Englishfolkies through the filter of Tom Waits. A newly written tribute to the NHS. An abstract take on ACeremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten. Traditional wassails and old stories coloured with folknoir and traces of Vincent Guaraldi’s Merry Christmas Charlie Brown. In typical magpie style, TheUnthanks collect and reimagine, at once unique and familiar, inspired but natural and effortless.
In Winter features a new sound palette for The Unthanks, incorporating vibraphone, clarinet andsaxophone into the core band that features vocal harmony, piano, violin, double bass, guitars and percussion.
The Unthanks tell stories that capture children. They make music cutting edge enoughto be BBC 6Music regulars. They can equally be found on Radios 2, 3 and 4, reframinghistory and drawing together the worlds of folk, jazz, orchestral, electronic and rockmusic. The believability of their storytelling is admired by some of our best storytellers -Mackenzie Crook, Elvis Costello, Maxine Peake, Nick Hornby, Martin Freeman, RobertWyatt, Charles Hazelwood, Ben Myers and David Mitchell, to name a few.At the nucleus of a constantly evolving unit is the traditional upbringing of Tynesidesisters Rachel and Becky Unthank and the arrangements and writing of Barnsley composer,pianist and producer, Adrian McNally.
The Unthanks have been described as “a take on tradition that flips so effortlesslybetween jazz, classical, ambient and post-rock, it makes any attempt to put a label onthem a waste of time”.Using the traditional music of the North East of England as a starting point, the influenceof Miles Davis, Steve Reich, Sufjan Stevens, Robert Wyatt, Antony & The Johnsons, KingCrimson and Tom Waits makes The Unthanks a unique band, earning them a Mercury Music Prize nomination and international acclaim along the way.

The White Horse Guitar Club
2024-11-30 19:00 - 22:30 | Cork City Hall, Anglesea Street, Cork, Cork, IE
An evening of joy, story, and song as The Horse Guitar Club brings their revelrous show of folk rock and americana to Cork City Hall

ALL SEATED SHOW, FULL BAR & CLOAK ROOM
White Horse Guitar Club will be playing a very special concert at Cork City Hall on November 30th.
“Growing up in Cork, the City Hall always ignited something in our hearts. It’s a place of celebration, known for hosting iconic gigs from legendary artists like U2, Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, Eric Clapton, and Thin Lizzy. For us, Cork City Hall is synonymous with the legend that is Rory Gallagher. The grainy footage of his 1974 tour, playing to a packed home crowd, is etched in our minds.
Just like other iconic venues such as the Opera House and the Everyman, where the White Horse Guitar Club has had some great shows, Cork City Hall is a bucket-list venue for us. We are honored to be playing here. This venue, a place of celebration, was destroyed during the burning of Cork by the Black and Tans, then rebuilt and restored, and brought back to our city in 1932, all paid for by the British government as a gesture of reconciliation. This hall has seen not only music legends but also sporting legends being celebrated and has been the stage for Freedom of the City ceremonies for notable figures like JFK, Roy Keane, and Sonia O’Sullivan.
On Saturday November 30th, we’ll be keeping these memories in mind as we plan an evening of joy, story, song, and celebration. We may even have some special guests joining us.
Join us, The White Horse Guitar Club, live at Cork City Hall on Saturday November 30th.”

The Stunning
2024-12-14 19:00 - 22:30 | Cyprus Avenue, Caroline Street, Cork, Cork, IE
.

“The Stunning were the biggest band in the country; tracks such as Brewing up a Storm, Heads are Gonna Roll and Half Past Two are still alternative anthems.”
— Irish Times
“The Stunning pretty much did it all first time around, in this country at least. Paradise In The Picturehouse, their debut, was the first Irish debut album to go to number one and stayed there for five weeks.”
— Hot Press
The legendary live performers, who have had a series of top ten hits and number one albums, have amassed a cult following nationally and internationally. They provided the soundtrack to a generation of people brought up in Ireland during the late 80’s and 90’s and with another number one Irish album in 2018 and two new singles, they have attracted a whole new audience with their timeless tunes.
The band formed in 1987 in Galway, Ireland and had their first Top 20 single just a year later followed by two more Top 10 hits before their debut album ‘Paradise in the Picturehouse’ hit the number one spot in 1990 staying there for 5 weeks. Over the next year or so, there were more hit singles, followed by another number one album. ‘Once Around the World’. They released a live album ‘Tightrope’ in ’93 before splitting up a year later.
After an absence of almost ten years, the band reformed in 2003 to find that their audience had in fact grown during the time they spent away. In 2012 around 30,000 people turned out to see them play a free concert in their old hometown of Galway city. In March 2018 the band released ‘Twice Around the World’, a re-recorded, re-vamped version of their second number one album ‘Once Around the World’. It topped the charts once again and was the biggest-selling album in Ireland that week. The band then embarked on a sold-out tour of Ireland and headlined festivals over the summer of 2018.
In September 2023 their song ‘Brewing up a Storm’ was licensed to promote the Heineken Rugby World Cup on TV, radio and online commercials. It is a fitting soundtrack as many international rugby, gaelic football and soccer teams have walked out onto the pitch to its rousing chorus.
The band shot an hour-long film ‘We Come Alive’ during the pandemic, featuring a host of guest artists including Mundy, Faye O’Rourke (Soda Blonde), Camille O’Sullivan, button accordion player Máirtín O’Connor and more. It is due to be screened on Ireland’s main national television station later in 2023.

The Undertones
2024-12-19 19:00 - 22:30 | Cyprus Avenue, Caroline Street, Cork, Cork, IE
.

Ahead of the release of their very first live album, The Undertones have come roaring back with an extensive UK and European tour, which includes a show at Cork’s Cyprus Avenue this December.
The Undertones emerged from Derry in 1976, the result of five friends (John O’Neill, Damian O’Neill, Feargal Sharkey, Billy Doherty and Michael Bradley) learning how to play basic rock and roll. Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to the band recording John O’Neill’s ‘Teenage Kicks’ in 1978 on Terri Hooley’s Good Vibrations label in Belfast. The legendary DJ John Peel received a copy and liked it so much he played it twice in a row on his radio show.
The Undertones signed with Sire Records and ‘Teenage Kicks’ was re-released, resulting in the band’s first appearance on Top Of The Pops. Over the next five years, John O Neill, crafted further pop gems such as `Here Comes The Summer`, ‘Jimmy Jimmy`, `You’ve Got My Number (Why Don’t You Use It)’ and ‘Wednesday Week’ whilst Damian O’Neill and Michael Bradley contributed ‘My Perfect Cousin. They also recorded four highly acclaimed LPs. Indeed, they almost enjoyed the life of professional musicians. In 1983 Feargal Sharkey left the band to pursue a solo career and the remaining members decided to call it a day.
In 1999 The Undertones reconvened to once again perform their two-minute, three and a half chord songs to a new generation of fans. Fellow Derryman Paul McLoone replaced Feargal Sharkey and his vocal prowess and electric onstage presence soon convinced any doubters that he was more than capable of doing the job. Over the last 25 years since they reformed, The Undertones have toured around the world and are playing better than ever. This convinced the band that it’s about time they record and release a first ever live album.

Frank and Walters **Extra show added due to demand**
2024-12-20 19:00 - 22:30 | Cyprus Avenue, Caroline Street, Cork, Cork, IE
.

The Frank and Walters are one of the most recognizable alternative rock bands hailing from Cork, Ireland in the past 3 decades. The band: Paul Linehan (Lead vocal & bass), Ashley Keating (Drums) Rory Murphy (lead Guitar) and Cian Corbett (Keyboards) took the band name in honour of two eccentric Cork characters. Two decades on from the release of their very first record, and the Franks continue to defy expectations. With Indie hits such as ‘Fashion Crisis Hits New York’ & ‘After All’ (which reached the top twenty in the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at 11.
The group also appeared on Top of the Pops in support of the single, it went as high as 5 in the Irish charts). Their music today is as relevant as any of the new pretenders on the block and only a handful of bands anywhere in the world can lay claim to such longevity of popularity. Each year, the Frank and Walters perform sell out venues across the UK, Europe, and the US and their records, both new and classic, continue to sell across the world
The Frank and Walters frontman, Paul Linehan, first spoke on how lockdown affected him as a musician, stating that “It was obviously difficult…but at the same time, I could focus on writing and recording my own songs. It was a very inspirational time for me as well because it made you reflect on life a bit more and made you do a lot of soul searching and thinking and that was kind of inspirational. So I think I got a good few songs out of it, none of them have seen the light of day yet, but they’re there.”
The veteran Cork rocker expressed how excited he was to be back playing live shows again, as he “missed it enormously”. Although he has loved connecting deeper to writing music, there is a different energy that comes with performing in front of a crowd.
“When you write a song you’re expressing yourself at that moment and you’re trying to express new feelings in writing,” Linehan explained.
“But when you come up onstage, you’re going through all of the feelings that you’ve gone through in the last 20 or 30 years, and for me, when I do a gig and relive those feelings, I find it therapeutic. I always feel brilliant after a gig, kind of exhilarated. It’s like therapy, and I did miss that.”

Mick Flannery
2024-12-20 19:00 - 23:30 | Cork City Hall, Anglesea Street, Cork, Cork, IE
Mick Flannery plays a very special end of year show at Cork City Hall on Friday 20th December.

“Mick Flannery has a voice for the ages, a complete Master of his craft” cited by Clash Magazine, whilst The Sunday Times said he “conjures up exquisite story-telling”. His latest offering ‘Goodtime Charlie’ Flannery’s eighth studio record went straight to No. 1 at home in Ireland on the independent charts, and No. 2 on the Official Charts, making it his sixth top 5 record to date, with 3 Number 1 records already under his belt. ‘Goodtime Charlie’ is also the first international signing for John Prine’s beloved Oh Boy Records.
Mick Flannery’s songs are fluent in expressing layered aspects of the human condition, its flaws, triumphs, and general uncertainty. His live shows are renowned for his self-deprecating humour, audience engagement and ability to bring people on a journey of both heartbreak and joy, often in the same instance.
Mick has built up a reputation over the past decade as one of Ireland’s hardest-working musicians, touring extensively at home and in more recent years abroad as his songs have been reaching folks farther afield. Ireland’s best-kept secret appears to be no more.

Clodagh Quirke
2024-12-20 20:00 - 22:30 | Passage West Creates, 3 Main Street, T12 V29T Passage West, Passage West, T12 V29T, IE
Clodagh Quirke will be playing an intimate and exclusive show in the workshop at Passage West Creates on December 20th.

Irish singer-songwriter Clodagh Quirke grew up in Passage West with an obvious grá for music, playing in every local choir and music group that were available to her.
Clodagh’s sound, a harmonious blend of Indie, Folk and Rock draws inspiration from luminaries like Glen Hansard, Damien Rice and Mick Flannery.

“Rebel Rebel” are Irelands premier David Bowie tribute, a 6 piece band, faithfully recreating Bowie’s extensive catalogue covering over 5 Decades. Both as professional musicians and huge fans of Bowies artistry, the respect for the man and his music is both evident and a cornerstone of their live performances.
Rebel Rebel’s 2 hour plus setlist is built upon Bowie’s most loved and enduring songs interspersed with those specially requested by his dedicated legion of followers and fans making each performance unique and special.
Lead singer Peter Quinn has always had his voice compared to Bowie’s. “I released an album of original material in 1999 and it was instantly compared to Bowie. It was something I had been told from the time I cut my first demo tape, so when I was looking for a new project a Bowie tribute was the obvious direction.”
All highly experienced and seasoned musicians, the band faithfully recreate David’s diverse and complex repertoire, often handpicked from particular live performances crossing the many decades and genres that reflect his genius and creativity.
Assembled from some of the finest touring and session musicians in the country, having previously played with an array of Europes top artists including; Sinead O’Connor, Clannad, Gavin Friday, Dolores O’Riordan, Jack L, Brian Kennedy, Lesley Garrett, The Irish Tenors, The RTE Concert Orchestra, Eric Bell & Brian Downey(Thin Lizzy).
From closing the first ever Bowie Symposium in Limerick University to headlining the Dublin Bowie Festival since its inception in 2015, including numerous sellout shows at Dublin’s Vicar St.,The Academy and the Cork Opera House, Rebel Rebel’s reputation for delivering electrifying performances continues to grow alongside their many fans.
Receiving rave reviews for their shows and lead singer Peter Quinn’s natural likeness to the voice of David Bowie, Rebel Rebel have frequently been hailed as not just the best Bowie tribute, but one of the the best bands in the country to experience live.
“Sounds uncannily like David Bowie on good form.”
Tony Clayton Lea, the Irish Times.
Bowie guitarist & musical director Gerry Leonard stated after his appearance with the band at Dublin Bowie Festival 2016 that it was ‘the closest thing to playing with Bowie Ive experienced’.
