I thought only sappy college girls liked Bon iver?
I couldn’t tell you mate, I even said I’ve not heard of them in a number of years… It should be a great gig tho.
Why should it?
Because it’s a secret gig… in an old church, silly. I doubt anything will top it on Irish soil in 2’17.
Depends on how many yokes you take i suppose.
How did that gig turn out @ChocolateMice, this new festival looks decent enough for Cork in September.
Short and sweet – it was two of Bon Iver with two from the National playing a few experimental tracks - only about 40 mins but Bon Iver were playing in the Opera house two hours later…
Yeah good buzz around - I was talking to Cillian Murphy in Triskel who was in town for the festival - he was opening a show in the triskel earlier. But Lot’s of shows spread around town.
Lovely, Cillian was always a nice fella, brilliant musician as well and hugely into music.
He was with another mate who still lives local - also into music - Bob I think was his name — they were admiring the art work of local artist Paul McKenna up on the walls — Cork is great.
That festival has been going for a few years now.
Apparently last night’s Bon Iver show and tonight’s National show are streaming live
Bob Jackson was in Cillians old band Sons of Mr Green Genes, He wrote the book about the Doctor from Castletownbere who was in the Japanese POW camp.

PLaying Limerick also at Habitat. Strange venue but it seems they’re booking All the Irish dates
Really enjoying The National live from Cork. Guilty Party with Lisa Hannigan and Justin Vernon was just spectacular there.
