SUMMARY:The Stunning
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\n“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.” \n— Irish Times \n“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.” \n— Hot Press \nThe 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.  \nThe 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.  \nAfter 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.  \nIn 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.  \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:The Undertones
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nAhead 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. \nThe 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.  \nThe 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.  \nIn 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.

SUMMARY:Frank and Walters **Extra show added due to demand**
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nThe 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. \nThe 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 \nThe 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.” \nThe 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. \n“When you write a song you’re expressing yourself at that moment and you’re trying to express new feelings in writing\,” Linehan explained. \n“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.”

SUMMARY:Mick Flannery
DESCRIPTION:Mick Flannery plays a very special end of year show at Cork City Hall on Friday 20th December.\n\n\n“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. \nMick 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. \nMick 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.

SUMMARY:Rebel Rebel - David Bowie Experience
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\n“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. \nRebel 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. \nLead 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.” \nAll 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. \nAssembled 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). \nFrom 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. \nReceiving 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. \n“Sounds uncannily like David Bowie on good form.” \nTony Clayton Lea\, the Irish Times. \nBowie 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’.

SUMMARY:Kneecap
DESCRIPTION:Belfast Hip Hop trio return to Cork City Hall following last years legendary set!\n\n\nSupport from GEMMA DUNLEAVY \n \nDoors 19:00 \nStarts 20:00 \n \nWhen Mo Chara\, Moglaí Bap and DJ Provaí – aka Belfast’s finest Kneecap – entered the studio with producer Toddla T in the summer of 2023\, they quickly decided to scrap everything they had already prepared for the album they were about to record. Instead\, they decided to build a pub together. \n \nBuilt on a West Belfast side street\, The Rutz is a community boozer\, in that the entire community uses it. All human life is inside\, either thriving\, striving or skiving. There’s people just trying to get served at the bar or up on the stage performing; others are slumped in darkened corners or emerging bleary eyed and coke smeared from the toilets. Religious affiliations are irrelevant and the chatter is a intoxicating blur of English and Irish. \n \nIn the evening\, the music is loud and shifts effortlessly between styles. There’s ethereal Irish folk song set to skittering beats brushing up against propulsive\, bouncing low end dubstep. There’s samples from rave records blasting out at panic inducing volume and there’s louche funk that seems to seep out of the speakers like liquid. Two pints inside you and forty minutes spent in here is utterly spellbinding. \n \nAlthough the pub is currently just a figment of the band’s imagination\, all of the action on Kneecap’s exhilarating first album – Fine Art – takes place in The Rutz. Like the band themselves\, Fine Art is fiercely intelligent\, consistently hilarious and genuinely thought provoking. It’s genius is to immerse you in a world thus far unrepresented in modern music. \n \nAcross the record’s twelve tracks and the interconnecting moments between them (recorded by the band and friends including DJ Annie Mac)\, the pub comes to life vividly\, providing the perfect backdrop for the cast of characters that join the dots throughout the album. From the moment the idea was born back in Toddla T’s studio\, it was the obvious location to base the world of Kneecap in. \n \nMo Chara “We’d been writing an album for around two years. We’d grown a lot quicker as a band than we were developing our production skills. We were getting big crowds at concerts and we knew needed to go for a bigger producer. When we got into the studio with Toddla T\, we scrapped every song we had and started from complete scratch. T’s idea was to tell the story of Kneecap. So the record was conceived as the listener stepping into Kneecap’s world. That’s where the idea came to set whole thing in a pub. You walk into a pub at the start\, there’s someone offering you a drink\, there’s a singsong… really\, it’s us taking you by the hand and leading you into our world.” \n \nMoglaí Bap “You’re in there enjoying a pint at the start of the night then you go to the toilet and someone’s offering you cocaine\, you go out and have a fag and bump into new people and all the time\, the mood and the energy keeps changing…” \n \nMo Chara “The challenge was to show versatility across all the genres of hip hop. We wanted to do all of that whilst sounding cohesive. The pub was a really good way of tying it all together.” \n \nKneecap’s story began in 2017 with the release of their first single – C.E.A.R.T.A. (Irish for ‘rights’). The lyrics document a near miss with the RUC on the way to party\, loaded up with enough illegal substances to warrant a stretch inside. While the track was quickly banned by Irish language radio station RTE for ‘drug referencing and cursing’\, C.E.A.R.T.A. saw the band help usher Irish into the modern era thanks to some much needed creativity with the terminology. \n \nMo Chara “We’re Irish speakers living in an urban area\, the first or second generation to be born in the city. Traditionally it’s a rural language after colonialism pushed it out west towards the sea. We wanted to bring the Irish language into the modern era by incorporating aspects of youth culture into it. There’s a different lifestyle in the city to rural areas. There were no words for drugs in the Irish language so we had to invent them. We’d recycle old words and apply them to modern things. That’s part of the world we want to create\, where the Irish language is central and it’s modern.” \n \nMoglaí Bap “The beauty of Kneecap is that we not only piss off people from the Unionist background\, we also piss off people from the Irish community.. We don’t discriminate who we piss off. There’s conservative people in the Irish language community who think that the language should be sustained as an ancient language in all its beauty. They think we’re ruining the language with the words we’re using. But you start to hear young people using some of the words we use in our songs\, referring to drugs or party life. That feels like we’re having a positive effect on youth culture.” \n \nThat positive effect comes into its own on Fine Art. A hip hop record in the sense that the glorious sprawl of Check Your Head was\, its approach to modern music is magpie like\, reflecting how an evening of music might evolve at a festival\, or inside the right kind of pub. Where the band’s previous mixtape 3cag reflected life and issues in Ireland at the point of recording\, Fine Art was always intended to be about the band themselves. \n \nOpening with 3CAG (no relation to the previous mixtape) – a beautifully spectral scene-setter that features the voice of Lankum’s Radie Peat (Mo Chara: “she’s the Queen of Ireland right now\, it is a pleasure to have her on the album”) – the album quickly kicks into a couple of different gears on the title track which features dialogue sampled from an Irish TV show where a local presenter discusses a mural the band had painted in their home town depicting an RUC jeep on fire alongside the message ““Níl fáilte roimh an RUC” (translation: “The RUC aren’t welcome”). \n \nMo Chara “The mural ended up on the BBC with Steven Nolan who’s like the Piers Morgan of North of Ireland. They had a massive debate about the painting And he says\, ‘The band Kneecap claim the mural is just a piece of fine art’. So we sampled it into a dance tune and dropped it in where it kicks. That’s where the title comes from – when we were getting stick about the mural that’s the term we used. Because that’s the best description isn’t it? If you don’t get it\, you don’t get it. It’s still fine art.” \n \nElsewhere on tracks like I bhFiacha Linne and Rhino Ket\, the spirit of the early ’90s rave scene is captured and brilliantly bound together with the frenetic energy of the 21st century club music. Although the two rappers were too young to have participated in the egalitarian outdoor raves that brought Catholics and Protestants together in the years before the Good Friday Agreement\, they have been hugely inspired by a documentary from that era (Dancing on Narrow Ground: Youth & Dance in UIster). \n \nMoglaí Bap “That film is about how they were all taking really strong ecstasy pills and having a really good time together. It looked like this mythical land where the pills were so strong that you only needed one all night. The music on that film all ended up seeping into the record because we all loved watching it so much. The song Parful samples it too.” \n \nMo Chara “There would be bombings in the week then at the weekend people would all come together to take Es. It didn’t matter where they were from. Then the week would start again and they’d be back to killing each other. The contrast of life was so massive\, but the rave scene really did start to change things.” \n \nMuch less the sound of losing yourself dancing in a field\, the first single from Fine Art (Better Way To Live) would feel more at home blasting out of the jukebox in the snug bar of The Rutz. An irresistible murky late night groove\, the track sees the band joined by Fontaines D.C.’s Grian Chatten (alongside that band’s drummer\, Tom Coll) who perfectly captures the slide down the bar stool from sobriety into drunken indifference. \n \nMoglaí Bap “We’re good friends with Grian and Tom\, we’ve played gigs with them before. We wanted to get them on the record so we got them drunk one night and made them sign the contract in the pub. After that\, they are bound into doing it.” \nWhether bribes of alcohol were necessary is unknown as Grian – like Radie\, Annie and Harrow Road guest Jelani Blackman (Mo Chara: “He’s sound as fuck and criminally underrated) and everyone else who features on Fine Art – sounds entirely at home in the surroundings. It’s testament to how welcoming the world is that Kneecap have built around them. So\, might as well head to the bar\, grab another pint and maybe a Baby Guinness chaser too. And don’t worry about last orders\, the lock in is going to go on all night.

SUMMARY:High Llamas
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nOpened up by the delirious alchemy of contemporary pop music\, Sean O’Hagan leaps back into life with High Llamas\, with a set of killer tunes reflecting on dimensional levels how definitions change over time. Arranged by Sean and produced with mix collaborator Fryars to engage the eardrums in non-stop new possibilities\, Hey Panda radiates optimism inspired by the joys and sorrows felt in former lifetimes and the diverse conundrums of today alike. \nHigh Llamas present Hey Panda – a modern pop music/deep listening experience that could only issue forth from their personal quadrant of the galaxy. Hey Panda projects soulfully through an enervating abstract of today’s popular music; the sound of the Llamas’ stately melodies and expressive ditties laid open – blissfully shattered – with drums and vocals hitting different\, burning sounds and contemporary production twists pulling the ear at every turn. \nFor the past few decades\, High Llamas have trafficked in contemporary pop sounds directed toward the avant end of the spectrum as much as not. But here the message was clear. Llamas’ composer-in-residence Sean O’Hagan was determined to let go. Hey Panda does just that\, with a set of tunes reflecting on multiple levels how definitions change over the course of a lifetime\, radiating an optimism derived from the diverse conundrums of today.Eight years since their last release\, the pop musical Here Come The Rattling Trees\, High Llamas have reinvented themselves again\, mixing their peerless harmonic voice with what Sean regards as the  extraordinarily good production sounds of today on Hey Panda. \nChoosing not to look backward to former golden ages celebrated in earlier Llamas eras\, Sean’s instead found himself opened up by the sounds of music brought into the house by his adult children and the sounds encountered at sessions for which he’s recently written arrangements. In addition to the more traditional contributions he made to The Coral’s Sea of Mirrors album\, plus his score for the Safdie brothers’ 2022 film production\, Funny Pages\, Sean’s drawn great inspiration through working with Fryars\, Rae Morris\, King Krule\, Pearl and The Oyster\, while also soaking up the work of Tierra Whack and Chicagos Pivot Gang\, and being cheered on from a distance by longtime admirer Tyler The Creator. \nThus\, Sean’s producer procedural has evolved again\, with upgrades first detected in his 2019 solo effort\, Radum Calls\, Radum Calls. With a cover of Billie Eilish’s Wish You Were Gay arranged for Bill Callahan and Bonnie Prince Billy’s Blind Date Party\, along with his COVID-era solo single\, The Wild Are Welcome\, Sean has leveled up again and again\, leading to the delirious revelations of Hey Panda. \nHey Panda’s wide reach is aided by two co-writes from Bonnie  ˜Prince’ Billy\, (who bonded with Sean over a shared love of gospel soul during writing sessions)\, guest vocals from Rae Morris and Sean’s daughter Livvy\, production twists from Fryars and the stalwart\, flexible presence of High Llamas. \nFor all of its sense of departure\, Hey Panda is a movement in the High Llamas oeuvre that’s been a long time in development. Aspects of soul music were addressed at the time of Can Cladders; similarly\, aspects of electronic dance music were in the mix in the late 90s\, around the time of Cold and Bouncy. But nothing up to now has refocused the music of High Llamas so completely. Sharing the impulse of late-period Miles Davis and Quincy Jones\, with further inspiration from Steve Lacy\, SZA\, Sault\, No Name and Ezra Collective\, among many others\, Sean O’Hagan and High Llamas are living joyfully in the new and the now\, with Hey Panda. \nTRACK LISTINGHey PandaFall Off the MountainBade AmeySisters Friends (featuring Rae Morris)How the Best Was Won (featuring Bonnie “Prince” Billy)The GradeYoga GoatStone Cold SlowToriafanHungriest Man (featuring Bonnie “Prince” Billy)The Water MovesLa Masse (featuring Fryars)

SUMMARY:Gemma Hayes
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome award-winning Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes for her first performance in the Grainstore.\n\n\nGemma Hayes  \n2020 saw Gemma and her family to relocate from London to West Cork. It was there that she reignited her passion for songwriting that provided the spark for what would become her sixth studio album Blind Faith. “Songs began to murmur\, distil and rise up in my mind\,” she explains. “I would lock myself in the room\, usually late at night when the world was asleep. I knew I needed to capture them before they left me.”  \nBlind Faith was released in September 2024 to great acclaim\, with Mojo Magazine hailing it as “the album of her career”. It has delighted old fans and won new followers. \nThe critics have been universally generous in their praise of Gemma’s new work. \nThe album’s cover art\, designed by the German artist Dirk Wüstenhagen\, suggests an artist diving back into her art with conviction and a newfound sense of freedom\, perhaps even a bit of reckless abandon. \nGemma’s songs have always drawn their power from her lyrical intimacy and lucidity\, juxtaposed with her penchant for experimenting with various sonic textures that embrace both the quiet and the loud. \nThese hallmarks are on riveting display throughout Blind Faith’s nine compositions\, produced by Hayes herself alongside Karl Odlum\, David Odlum & Brian Casey.  \nThe Band \nGemma Hayes – Lead Vocal / Guitar \nÉna Brennan – Violin / Bvs / Keys / Ukelele \nRoss Turner – Drums / BVs
