Easter Sun WEB new

Looking for something to do in Cork on Easter Sunday?

Up to St. Luke’s with ya.

Writes Joe Kelly:

St Luke’s Cross, on Cork city’s northside, has, over the years, exuded its own unique personality and charm. A cultural crossroads being fed from all directions.

Now with Live at St Luke’s bringing over 45 concerts to the area in the last year and a half a carnival atmosphere has on occasion being sensed. So we thought it would be a good idea to join up four of the local businesses from afternoon to night time for a broad palette of music, song and dance.

Guests include: at Live at St Luke’s, Lankum (Lynched) plus Katie Kim; Donal Dineen at Henchy’s; Anth Kaley & Lynda Cullen in Rant and Sillk at the Wine Tavern.

Come On Live Long – soundscapes and breathy vox from Dublin

What you may need to know…

01. Last time we checked in on Dublin four-piece Come on Live Long, they’d just launched single For the Birds with a gig at the Unitarian Church in Dublin.

02. Since then, they’ve been busy preparing their follow-up album to 2013’s Everything Fall, while vocalist Louise Gaffney also contributed to the sublime Glow, on Wicklow math-rockers Enemies‘ final album Valuables.

03. Streaming above is the video for new single Sum of its Parts, with footage taken by the band from the recording process.

04. It’s taken from upcoming sophomore album In the Still, available for pre-order on vinyl and streaming from May 19th.

Thoughts: A glimpse of something that could be absolutely breathtaking, from the less-is-more school of composition.

The Coolest Fanny or Manny PackTM or CF2 from Common Fibers is a wearable carbon fibre ‘party pouch’ with Bluetooth connectivity and integrated speakers.

Well actually, it’s an April Fool gag but may soon be a Kickstarter project.

If it ever goes into production it’ll cost around €233, which will be the least of your problems if you’re prepared to wear it in plain sight.
