Loudest Whisper concert

LEGENDARY folk rock band Loudest Whisper will celebrate 40 years on the road with a big concert in Cork this weekend.

The group, which shot to fame with Brian O’Reilly’s seminal album, Children of Lir, will perform a full concert version of the album in the Cork School of Music on Saturday night.

The album is in the top 100 most wanted records of all time. And if you’re lucky enough to still have an original copy of the vinyl LP, keep it — it’s a prized collector’s item worth a cool €1,000, making it the most valuable Irish LP ever released.
