Live Music Review: Sudden Club Weekender at the Kino, Cork

4/5

The Kino, in its former guise as an arthouse cinema, was the go-to place in Cork for interesting films. It has since been revamped as a music venue, and over the weekend the Washington St premises played host to some of the most invigorating acts in Ireland — and one from England — as part of the Sudden Club Weekender.

The event felt sorely needed, too, as there seems to be a dearth of and support for music venues in the city of late. It’s testament to the promoters of the Southern Hospitality Board that they’ve roped in two of the most exciting acts in the country for the weekend. And, with no bar, the BYOB (no glass!) suggestion just added to the DIY feel of it all.
