🎸 ENTER THE NIGHT // LIVE ON KICKHAM PLAZA! 🌙
Something very special has been brewing in Tipperary this summer…
Meet 'Wannabe Frank'✨
Nine young Tipperary musicians, aged 16 to 25, have been coming together as the 'Enter The Night Supergroup', working with Musical Director Stephen McGrath Bass (CrowBlackChicken & Music Generation Tipperary) to arrange, write and create a one-off live performance for Culture Night, this September 18th.
And they won't be doing it alone…
✨ Guest Artist-Mentors
🎤 Sarah Corcoran - Pillow Queens
🎸 Cathal Mac Gabhann - The Altered Hours
🎤 MayKay — Fight Like Apes/ Le Galaxie
The mentors will share their experience with the young musicians throughout the programme before joining them on stage to perform their own original material backed by the Supergroup, Wannabe Frank ✨
The night will also feature emerging local acts, a promenade performance from Stagecraft in collaboration with Clonmel Junction Arts Festival's Tom Campell masks, and a huge finale bringing the Supergroup, guest artists, Stagecraft and Clonmel Community Choir together on one stage. 🎭🎶
