The One Take Sessions returns again this Thursday and (coincidentally) just like last year, we’ve found ourselves on the lip of the June Bank Holiday weekend and the start of the Cat Laughs comedy festival here in Kilkenny.
If you’re visiting Kilkenny or are a ‘Sessions regular then why not start your Bank Holiday weekend on the right note and join us in Cleere’s Theatre on Parliament Street where music kicks off this Thursday night at 9:30pm.
Guests include a trio of local acts in the form of Kieran Byrne, Ken McGuire and Alan Dawson while Sligo’s Siobhan O’Donnell joins us (after a fairly long drive) for the night.
Keep an eye on the site for more details or better still, drop into Cleere’s where you can enjoy four more great acts free of charge. Can’t argue with that!

The 20th One Take Sessions took place last night where we had the delight of seeing Cian O’Sullivan, Rob O’Connor and Bright Light Fiasco return to the ‘Sessions stage once more (following appearances about 12 months ago), while Rich Wyman wowed the audience with a virtuoso performance on piano all while nursing a sore throat (helpfully through some hot whiskey remedies).
Needless to say, the recordings from last night’s sessions should make for some fantastic listening.
KCLR 96FM’s Jenny Nolan was there for the night and managed to grab Rich and the Bright Light Fiasco lads for some interviews and we’ll be handing some tracks over to the station (hopefully) for inclusion in an upcoming Culture Club slot.
Keep an eye out on DownloadMusic.ie too for the release of Bright Light Fiasco’s new single ‘A New Way Of Living’, hitting the web and shops from next week.
The Culture Club airs on KCLR 96fm (and via the web) every Tuesday night between 8 and 9pm.
