Connolly’s at heart of West Cork's global fame as music hub

Connolly's of Leap  is one of a number of music venues peppered around West Cork, stretching from Prim’s in Kinsale to De Barra’s in Clonakilty and further on to Levis’ of Ballydehob

Connolly's of Leap is a famous and favourite venue among music fans to catch big and small acts, new and experienced, from all walks of life and across all genres of music, playing at the venue year-round.

“It's got a mind of its own, that building. It belongs to everyone — it belongs to the people that come through the door.” 

Sam McNicholl is speaking about Connolly’s of Leap, the roadside music venue an hour and a half from the city that can’t be missed before heading deeper into West Cork.
