Weekly Cork Gig Guide: 21st-28th October

This week in Cork: Jazz, jazz, East India Youth. And jazz…

All focus shifts to the bank holiday weekend for four days of music, music, music. Rock, pop, soul, funk, electronica and maybe even some jazz will be pumping throughout Cork City so early in the week is traditionally – and understandably – quiet. But not everywhere. Bournemouth synth-pop soloist
East India Youth glides in and out of Cyprus Avenue on Thursday evening before the madness reaches fever pitch serving as a nice taster for the eclectic treats on offer over the coming days.
