Magic Nights By The Lee
⭐ SMITHEREENS & MAICIN ⭐
Friday 9th August, Lee Rowing Club
Over the last few months Smithereens have burst onto the Cork and Irish rock scene. Winning UCC Battle of the Bands, with studio time and a Cyprus Avenue Headline gig as prizes means even more momentum for the 5-piece jazz/funk/rock fusion band. Smithereens were described as ‘High energy, fun, and one of a kind’ by one judge at UCC Battle of the Bands, and as ‘A mix of jazz and punk, ‘junk’ in the best way possible!’ by another.
Maicín are Happy Sad Men with an EP from producer Oli Deakin (CMAT) on the way. Their songs are both irreverent and deeply personal ranging from helpless romanticism to the shtick on a nice pint of Beamish.

⭐ JOHN FRANCIS FLYNN ⭐ with support from Trá Pháidín
Saturday 9th December, 8pm
LIVE AT ST. LUKE'S
🎟 Tickets on sale from liveatstlukes.com
The sonic landscape created through the unconventional use of instruments jagged arrangements often teeters on the edge of disharmony, but it gives the work a magnetism by drawing you into its curious orbit of experimental folk. John masterfully unpicks traditional songs and rearranges them with an emotional force that sometimes leaves them unanchored. They float in a surreal space between the past and the present, the analog and the digital, between love and tragedy. Look Over The Wall, See The Sky is an album concerned with imagination, but not only with what John calls, “an imagined Ireland,” but also the re-imagining of traditional Irish music and the hopeful fantasy of an Ireland that could exist ‘over the wall’: powerful, hopeful and free.
⭐ HUUN HUUR TU ⭐ Live At St. Luke's
🗓 Friday 1st December, 8pm

⭐ JOHN FRANCIS FLYNN ⭐ Live At St. Luke's
Saturday 9th December, 8pm
🎟 Tickets available from liveatstlukes.com
John Francis Flynn’s music evolves around traditional and folk material from Ireland, but that is only the starting point. On the first single from the album ‘Mole In The Ground’, a cover of an American anti-establishment folk song recorded by Bascom Lamar Lunsford in 1928, John evokes the rebellious energy he felt in his home of Dublin during a time when it was being “torn to shreds by property developers and vulture funds.”
