MUSIC NEWS: After bringing a feast of contemporary music to Cork last year, plans are afoot for a second Sounds From A Safe harbour to take place in 2017.

Details have yet to be released, but ex-Cork Opera House chief Mary Hickson will again helm next autumn’s event. Meanwhile, her fellow Corkonian, Mick Flannery, has just released a new single, ‘I Own You’, with an album bearing the same name to follow next month. The Blarney singer-songwriter is also on tour with upcoming appearances including Cork Opera House on October 2 as part of the city’s folk festival.
