As the closures that have affected live events and festivals around the country look set to continue into 2021, Cork's Quiet Lights festival has joined the ranks of events heading online with a series of live-streamed gigs and performances over the course of the last few months.

The festival, specialising in providing musical performances in unusual locations around Cork City, holds special significance for Radie Peat, of Rough Trade-signed trad revivalists Lankum, and Waterford songwriter Katie Kim.
