Bloomsday in Cork? Certainly! Although not even the cheekiest Corkman could ‘claim’ Ulysses for the rebel city, he would point out that Joyce’s father was born on Anglesea Street and that Cork play’s a significant role in Joyce’s Magnum Opus.

Music at The ESB sub – station @ 4pm
A husband and wife collaboration, Chunky Planet’s commentary style lyrics and alternative indie/folk sound is no recipe for nostalgic love songs. A ‘tell it how you see it’ approach, they switch from the sweet to the absurd, always bringing a certain edge and rawness to their music.

EleventyFour
who came into the world backwards and has done things in her own way ever since. Her shows are characterised by offbeat banter and quirky songs.

Ruti Lachs
an accomplished accordionist and is generally seen playing with The Fireflies, the Klezmer band based in South-West Ireland. She’s currently playing solo, working as a music teacher, youth worker, mother and student as well as being a wood collector, washer-upper, not-enough-sleeper, and much, much more
Pearse McGlouglin + Harry Bird and the Rubber Wellies: Saturday 19th
Music at Meades Upstairs @ 10pm Tickets: €5“The musicians that impress me operate at borders . . . cross them when they need to, stop short of them if they need to. It’s sometimes a difficult terrain to navigate.” To date, Walkperson has served as the nom de guerre for Pearse McGloughlins songs and the musicians who have played with him.
Guitarist and songwriter Harry Bird teams up with good friends the Rubber Wellies (Christophe Capewell and Maria Blackwell) in a British/Irish/Bilbaino folk con-fusion… Their first self-produced album, “Long Way to be Free”, is an exploration of faith, love and displacement in a world made up of contradictions that swings between intimate rootsy folk and a joyful assortment of quirky circus rhythms.
Trash Country Boogie: Sunday 20th
Music/food at The Sextant @ 3pm
A Sunny Summer afternoon of Cowpunk music, beer and the best finger lickin’ food in town with Hank Wedel MCing and SS800, Aaron Dillon and band and Novella Hermosa playin' the toons
Nassau: Sunday 20th
Music at The Roundy Upstairs @ 9pm
Nassau hailing from Cork, Ireland, have a guitar driven sound, unlike anything you have heard before. Their songs are melodic and invariably drive you to that irresistible urge to stamp your foot or punch the air, allowing yourself to completely resign to the music, if only for a brief few minutes
Theres also rehearsed readings, film, performance, slam poetry, theatre, art and workshops most of it free so go to
