Spend over €20 tomorrow at Crowley's tomorrow and you will be in with a chance to win two tickets to a brilliant festival coming up this weekend. From 12 noon to closing there will be loads of up and coming original artists who are very talented and very cool playing in a very relaxed space at the Tinny Shed or St. Columba's Hall as it is known officially. This event is organised by a brilliant group of young people called Rebel City Network. They do great things for their fellow local musicians and they deserve our support as much as the acts themselves.
Check it out this Saturday.
One of the acts is Dan O'Keeffe who won fourth place in our song contest recently. He has a very fine voice in fairness. There is loads happening!!

Here is Alan Comerford playing a tune with his young daughter, Mila today at our HsienMo Guitars demo!
Isn't she just brilliant. In such a short time she is able to do what her dad is doing!! Just imagine what she is going to be like when she grows up!!
She is lucky to have Alan as her dad too though. 😄❤️

Are you heading to Cobh for the Cobh Trad & Folk Festival this weekend? I think it is going to be brilliant. They have loads of diverse acts, making things very interesting! Lots of music on the promenade and around the town and lots of great acts in venues.
Crowleys Music Centre will be in the business hub under the archway at the square. It is an office space under the library.
Alan Comerford, Dan Ahern and Noel Curran will be demonstrating our HsienMo Guitars. We are the exclusive dealers for Ireland and if you haven't tried them already we can show you a wide range of their models. You should check them out as all the professional musicians are very excited about them, especially as they are coming in at very reasonable prices.
If you put a deposit on them over the weekend of the festival you will get 10% discount.
Myself and Trevor will be on the promenade selling tshirts, CDs, whistles, strings, photos, shrutis, concertinas, mandolins, banjos etc.

Here is the link to the Crowley's Songwriting Competition Final on tonight at 7.30pm. For anyone in town call into The Merchant, 41 South Mall. See you there. https://www.youtube.com/live/M_2dw7lU_-A

I have loved our first Songwriting Competition so much. I suppose naturally the majority of submissions were from Cork, but lots of other counties and countries too. We were blown away by the talent. It will be great to see who wins later cos I love all of them.

The five finalists are Blissín, Caoilte O'Cuanaigh, Jack Seymour, Eavan O'Leary and Dan O'Keeffe.

Special performance from John Neville. It will be a fantastic night.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
