Stories & Songs - Singer-Songwriter Performances

The Roundy, Castle St.

Mon 11th May, 7:30 pm

'Stories & Songs' is a series of events across Ireland featuring acoustic singer-songwriter performances. The first events took place in Dublin at The International Bar, and now, for the first time, the initiative is coming to Cork.

The event is donation-based (to be split between the featured artists) and there will also be an open mic between and after the performances to provide a space for anyone who wants to share their own songs.

This time, the featured acts will be:
