WEDNESDAY – 23rd November
Time Is A Thief w/ Agitate The Gravel – An Brog, Oliver Plunkett St., Admission Free
Time Is A Thief, one of Cork’s hardest working bands, take to the legendary Brog on Wednesday night with Cork’s second hardest working band, Agitate the Gravel. Two exciting a professional bands, at a non-existent price. What more is there to say?
Didn’t we say Agitate the Gravel were a hard working band? Well two shows in one night is a pretty good example of that. They hit Cyprus Avenue with Exit: Pursued By A Bear and Trumpets of Jericho on Wednesday night. Some amazing acts here so it’d be a shame to miss out.
THURSDAY – 24th November
Delorentos – Triskel Christchurch, South Main St., Admission €12/15
Having stuck things out for the last few years as other bands of their ilk have fallen by the wayside, Delorentos bring their kicking set to the beautiful setting of Triskel’s newly renovated Christchurch on Thursday evening. A really good band and a aesthetically beautiful setting, this is should be a good one.
FRIDAY – 25th November
Toy Soldier Single Launch – Crane Lane Theatre, Phoenix St., Admission Free
Cork’s only true pop creators Toy Soldier will launch their next gem ‘Razorblades’ in the Crane Lane Theatre on Friday night. A feature of their set for a long time now, it’ll be great to hear the song committed to wax. Check it out.
