10 to see at Sounds From A Safe Harbour in Cork this weekend
Cillian Murphy in Steve, several sets by Conor O'Brien of Villagers, and a tribute to the late Eoin French (Talos) feature among the highlights of Sounds From A Safe Harbour in Cork.
Sounds from a Safe Harbour returns to the streets, stages, and secret corners of Cork City this weekend (Thursday to Sunday) for its 10th anniversary. Curated by festival director and Fermoy woman Mary Hickson, actor Cillian Murphy, Bryce Dessner (The National), writer Max Porter, and folklorist Billy MagFhloinn, there will be the usual popup shows and special collaborations (artists in residence will spend the first half of the week working on new material together, debuting it over the weekend), blending the epic and the intimate, the poetic and the political.
Organisers warn that, due to tight scheduling, gigs will be starting on time. Get there early.
