Madness in Cork

A live concert scene at night featuring the band Madness performing on stage in Cork. The stage is dominated by a massive, illuminated disco ball backdrop, casting a golden glow over the musicians and instruments, with a lively crowd visible in the foreground.

We went to see Madness play in Virgin Media Park last night. They were supported by Cork band, The Frank and Walters, and Ocean Colour Scene.

We arrived early because we wanted to see The Frank and Walters, and it was great to get in before the place filled up. The support bands were great and we really enjoyed their music.

Madness? Maybe I was expecting too much, or built it up in my head because they have some cracking tunes? I thought they could have been better. We danced to their hits, but they had a lot of deep cuts that had the crowd wondering what was going on. There was a lot of banter which didn’t always hit home with the crowd.

I did appreciate them mentioning Queen. I thought we’d get a short cover of one of their songs, but it wasn’t to be!

I paid for my ticket. Apparently, they had to give away a good bunch of them. 🙁

A Musical Afternoon in the Library

A close-up image of a musician playing a blue acoustic guitar and singing into a microphone in Cork City Library. The performer wears a black hat, white shirt, and brown vest, with bookshelves and a guitar on a stand in the background.

A candid photograph of two musicians performing in Cork City Library, surrounded by bookshelves. One musician plays the violin while the other plays an acoustic guitar and sings into a microphone. A small red table with water glasses and a bottle stands in the foreground, and a guitar rests on a stand between the performers. A library sign reading "Romance" is visible on a shelf behind them.

Joey Neville entertained a small audience in Cork City Library this afternoon with a selection of his own compositions, and other tunes. He was later joined by Eileen Healy on violin.
