This Cork music school is still rocking after 25 years

STUDENTS of the music, management and sound course at Cork city’s Colaiste Stiofáin Naofa (CSN) are a little starry-eyed with dreams of becoming rock stars. 

It’s The X Factor effect, says course director, Chris Ahern. He and his staff, along with the students and alumni, will celebrate the course’s 25th anniversary at Jacobs on the Mall, on Thursday, with music from local band, The Incredibles.

Dreams have come true for graduates such as Mick Flannery, Sinead Lohan and the Frank and Walters’ Cian Corbett.
