Cork Gig Guide: 13th-19th September

This Is How We Fly – Friday

This week in Cork: Culture Night, Alexis Taylor, Brigid Mae Power, Clonakilty’s International Guitar Festival & more…

Those itching for a weekend road trip then wind your way towards West Cork as Clonakilty’s International Guitar Festival returns for a full weekend of rock ‘n’ roll shows with 90% of the concerts scheduled between 15th-18th September FREE. Sydney alt-folk quartet All Our Exes Live in Texas‘s harmony-laden songs are a must catch on Sunday afternoon, following an all-action sweatfest for The Rednecks on Sunday night of course. See the full programme over on clonguitarfest.com.

Once you’re on the road that day maybe take a swing across to Cobh, for very good reason. Continuing on their absorbing array of gigs, Sirius Arts Centre welcome the wonderful talents of Brigid Mae Power who will showcase songs from latest album I Told You The Truth with support from Brumes.

Did I even mention that Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor and D.A.R.K. (featuring Dolores O’Riordan & Andy Rourke) will be in Cyprus Avenue this weekend? No? Well they will be. Friday and Saturday respectively. Now go and get your tickets and support your local music scene.

Also going down around town this week:

• Tedx Cork Salon: Cork Loves Music in Coughlan’s (Tuesday & Wednesday)
• Hank Wedel‘s album launch in The Oliver Plunkett (Friday)
