Phoenix Bar Revisited at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, on Saturday 5 October. The 45th Cork Folk Festival presents this musical tribute to the 70s folk and trad musicians who played in Cork City's iconic Phoenix Bar.
This concert will feature musicians who all played in the Phoenix bar in Cork during the 1970s. The Phoenix Bar was one of the first bars in Cork City that welcomed traditional and folk music sessions.
The line up for the concert will feature Jackie Daly, Jimmy Crowley, Conal Ó Grada, Colm Murphy, Eoin O Riabhaigh, Mick Daly & Tana O’ Brien plus Pat Ahern, Fred Willis and Ger Shine of Coppinger Stang.
No doubt the concert will revisit tunes and songs not played for decades. And you can be sure there will be a few stories told of the craic and banter had at the Phoenix during those heady days – miss it at your peril.
