"Bennigans Live" will open for an introductory season only - Friday nights in Winter 2011. On other nights, the bar will continue to run its well established local programme of events (see FB "Bennigans Bar"). In "Bennigans Live" on Friday nights we will welcome some of the finest musical talent from all over ireland, playing up close and live. Our policy is to welcome proper songwriters and live
players, playing proper songs. Artists will be respected - a new PA is being installed and we are determined that when singers or players start, that they will have the respect of a musically savvy crowd who appreciate the calibre of the artists we are bringing to Derry. Many have asked, so, just to be open about how it works ...
Bennigans 'Live' is booked, managed and consulted by a small group of music friendly people who love the wee bar. Joe has the final word on all bookings. Bennigans 'Live' usually happens on Friday nights for short seasons of 4 or 5 gigs. We believe in live music and supporting original writers. We reckon good music is usually found in the hands of good people. Our primary commitment is to showcase the best of the new music emerging from our local area. Organizers take nothing from the gigs - every penny made from the door goes to the lead artist on the night. PM the page if you'd like to be considered for gigs, mind you, usually we are well booked in advance in terms of local talent. Thanks for supporting Bennigans 'Live' .
