[QUOTE="philbo, post: 606168, member: 7575"] that the problem though, isnt it? ya have to go looking for whats on, if ya want to go to anything... i know i keep referencing the galway arts festival, but it is the best arts festival in ireland, and the only thing we can really compare this too... but they had booklets, full of every event, gig, performance, etc...that were available for free, all over the city. they had full page ads in the galway advertiser (the free paper, delivered to everyones doorstep), and generally, just had a whole atmosphere of a carnival or a festival for the entire time...there was always a minimum of 5 buskers on shop street, and they'd be different everyday.... all i have seen in cork has been one old man who plays harmonica, a couple of electric guitars/drumkits and the 3 acrobat lads... i took a look in the cork 2005 shop on patrick street, and it didnt really tell me anything...it had the whatson thing, which ya can pick up in any other shop... theres just not enough promotion, and not enough going on....I work in a coffee shop in town, and walking around one day, i passed an english family, and even the kids were saying it's the most uncultural place they have ever been to!
