Big Generator rocked Cobh last August during the Cobh People’s Regatta. They played in the band stand in the park and even later in the evening after the fireworks there was a large crowd dancing and enjoying the music! Look out for them as they play around the country.

Right, so let’s talk about the absolute star of Cork’s Dragon of Shandon parade—the massive skeletal dragon that dominated the streets and created that perfect mix of ancient mythology and contemporary street theatre that defines this extraordinary event. The parade really is a spectacular event, and the dragon brings up the rear with ominous music…

Who’s pulling the strings?

This is what Cork’s Dragon of Shandon parade does best. It transforms the streets into a moving theatrical spectacular where elaborate costumes, dedicated face paint, choreographed performances, and pure Halloween energy collide in the most brilliant way possible.

Yeah, that’s a giant demonic head they’re pushing along the North Main Street, Cork. 🙂

I did not know that there would be a small parade of brass bands down Oliver Plunkett Street until my wife was told about it an hour before! It was just after sunset and dark and getting cold but there was huge excitement as the crowd followed the musicians down the street.

TBL8 Brass Band playing in Cork earlier this evening. They were so good. Blasting out the hits!

The Family Shenanigans parade organised by Cork Community Art Link took place today in Cork and what a blast it was! There was so much energy, happiness and laughter! This is only a small selection of the photos from today. More to come tomorrow.
