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.

The Violinist and his audience

I was in town this afternoon and walking up Oliver Plunkett Street, came across Ryan Parsons, a very talented violinist busking on the street. A sizeable crowd gathered around behind me, enjoying the music. The gentleman in the background of this photo was evidentially enjoying the music too, waving his hand in time with the beat of the tune.

I recorded a video of Ryan playing too. Enjoy his wonderful playing for yourself!
