One of city’s oldest churches now Cork’s newest venue

Local electronic artist Talos shared the bill with renowned left-field classical group the Balanescu Quartet for a concert that drew a decent crowd for the 15-minute walk up Summerhill North from the city centre.
Deconsecrated in 2003, the former Church of Ireland premises also managed to be one of the stars of the show on its opening night. The impressive Romanesque design is one of Cork’s best kept architectural secrets and the atmospheric sounds of both acts on the night were well suited to the church acoustics.
