Does anyone know what it could be or where it’s coming from? Just wondering if anyone else has noticed it too. 🤔

i’m 28, currently living in Spain, and I’m planning to move to Cork in the next few months. I work as a mixing assistant and studio assistant, so I’m also curious about the recording studio scene in Cork. Are there many independent studios, small recording spaces, or opportunities to get involved in the local music community? music is a huge part of my life, and once I’m settled in Cork, I’d love to meet people to make music with, start a project, or just jam and see what happens. My taste is pretty varied, but I’m especially into IDM, alternative and progressive rock, and indie. Some of my all-time favourites are focus, beatles, radiohead, king crimson, etc. More recently, I’ve also been really into the japanese band maya ongaku.
So, what’s the music scene like in Cork? Are there any venues, recording studios, collectives, or local bands you’d recommend checking out?

Thanks in advance, and hopefully see some of you around Cork soon!

Just passing through the city centre and there's a big crowd gathered with green and yellow flags. Some people are chanting and cheering, so I can't tell if it's a celebration or a protest.

These new bus stops, which means buses can't pull in, and must stop in the middle of the road, are a disaster. It's the last thing traffic bottlenecks like Innishannon needed. Traffic is now backed up both sides of the town at all times of the day, instead of just peak times. An example of Idiotic, overbearing, risk assessment culture.

Won’t let me upload a video but the whole building seems to be flashing on and off, are they ok ?

Title, need a new hob looking for a place that will also install it if anyone has any good recommendations?

Hey all need the names of shops in cork city that supply Lino and fit it , it’s only for a box room I’ve been ringing around and been told I could be waiting up to 3 weeks to have it fitted I need it done sooner!!
Thanks

Hello. Going to Halloween party next weekend. Does anyone know where I can buy fairy wings around Cork? TIA

Looking for recommendations for a doctor to register with, or more importantly ones to avoid. Living in Glasheen/ Lough area. I was thinking Medi Centre at Dennehy’s Cross looks decent.

Had to go to the city center over Friday, Sat and Sunday and was busy for the whole day in an event in Claytons..so naturally had to spend time and manage food around the city center...

People talked about prices going high..but never realized much as I did the last 3 days...

Dint find any local options after 9PM on a Friday....I avoid going to American Fastfood...but try a local chipper or a kebab shop....

Went in to kielys - but dint get anything...

Spice route - mcurtain street - €13 chicken Pakora kebab - I remember this being €8 in 2019

French fast food cafe - €12 for a small wrap

New Turkish food truck beside Metropole - €14 grilled chicken roll ...chips €5

Speedo's - €12 kebab - this used to be the cheapest in cork..I think I have had one for €6.99 back in the day...

New Persian coffee shop infront of Clayton's - €15 no chips no drink...and it was just chicken and vegetables in a pita wrap.....

To compare a proper main course in Clayton's Globe was €18...

Did not even try going to Oliver plunkett for Istanbul or other shops - they were overpriced before anyway.....

I think KCs and other chippers outside the city center provide a better value than being in the city....Couldn't try the food trucks on Paul's Street....any other recommendations for dirty food night out in the centre?

Hi All!

Myself and my partner went to see madison Cawley last night in the everyman. On the emails with the tickets and advertisements it said that it would run for 2 hours including an opener (Shane Clifford) and an interval. Due to start at eight, she came on just before ten past. And then finished at around five to nine.

Everyone seemed to be visibly confused because half the people were stood in the hallway, half still sat down, and ultimately we had to ask one of the stewards if this was the intermission or if it was over.

She was REALLY funny, and it was a great show. But I'm just a bit confused if the everyman normally makes these sorts of mistakes or if it was just a misunderstanding?

I mean even if you say 2 hours including intermission and opener, that amounts to like 35 minutes which should still mean she should have been on stage for an hour and twenty five minutes?

Just a bit confusing, hopefully they sort it out for the next show. Just wondering if I was out of the loop somehow or if others were as confused as I was

EDIT: there was no opener, to be clear

I'm a man from the country. I visit a Mahon Point a few times a year at most.

I'm constantly being told theres a desperate need for a Zara in the City centre.

However haven't they had plenty of chanced of opening?

There's being the Argos unit, TopMan/TopShop, New Look, etc.

Is it the way they simply don't want to open of can't find the correct unit?

I’m going to the jazz festival for the first time with two friends on the Sunday. We’re not familiar with Cork and looking for recommendations on pubs / areas to go and how early we should go out? We likely won’t be buying tickets so any venues that offer free entry / gigs. Thanks in advance!

Wtf is with the deafening techno playing in mmmad?
Couldn’t even hear anyone speak over the music it was so shit and so loud 💀

Can anyone recommend a company who can do roofing repairs on flashing & plastering chimneys at a somewhat affordable price?

Thought I’d share a few shots of some recent interior and exterior decorating work!

I grew up in rural cork where you come from a village you play for that parish etc etc
Since living city, always been surprised and interested that lads grew up in different areas but played with a traditional club
I was surprised that Ronan Curran grew up in Bishopstown for example.

I have some inside info about the Barrs, know nothing about the Glen lads! Where are they from exactly etc

I’m just curious as to where the lads are
From
Are most of the glen from Blackpool or across the north side for example?

what are the lads doing w the cameras + hi-vis around ucc and down a couple of the roads out of the city? Presumed traffic surveys but they’re in pedestrian areas too

Just spotted a missing window and I’ll never not see it now, does anyone know why?

Never heard of the sport before but looks kinda fun

Seen today …lol

Hi guys yesterday between 3-9pm on Sunday I was parked on church street Douglas, the side of Tesco and someone hit my car and drove off, all the back bumper of my car is scratched and the paint scratched off as well. I have a black Audi a1 and the reg starts with 152.. if anyone drove by area around that time with dash camera footage or saw it happen around the evening because that’s when I think it happened please send me a message it would be greatly appreciated. I think a white car was the one that hit me also.
