Marquee to keep rocking beyond 2009

THE man behind Cork’s Live at the Marquee concert series confirmed last night that he plans to continue staging the event beyond 2009.

As sound checks took place yesterday before tonight’s opening gig by Faithless, concert promoter Peter Aiken said as long as thousands of people keep coming to see gigs at the Marquee, he will continue to stage the event in the city’s docklands.

The first Live at the Marquee took place in 2004 after which Mr Aiken committed to staging the event for the next four years.
