Piano bar aims to hit key note

This Wednesday, the normally quiet streets of Kinsale will echo to an unusual musical happening as a “Battle of the Pianos” takes centre stage at a local restaurant.

In a town renowned for its culinary attractions, a different dash of music will be added to Kinsale’s cultural stock pot with the opening of Crosbie’s Piano Bar at Crackpots restaurant.

The brainchild of Billy Crosbie, who will tinkle the ivories in competition with fellow key wizard Dave Murphy, the evening kicks off what is hoped will be a novel addition to the town’s activities over the coming tourist season.
