Phoenix Bar Revisited
Cork Folk Festival
The 45th Cork Folk Festival presents The Phoenix Bar Revisited
This concert will feature musicians who all played in the Phoenix bar in Cork during the 1970s. The Phoenix Bar was one of the first bars in Cork City that welcomed traditional and folk music sessions. Over the years it became a musical hub and spawned a plethora of folk groups including The Phoenix Céilí Band, The Lee Valley String Band, Coppinger Stang, The Four Star Trio, Stokers Lodge, The Steam Packet Co. and the dynamic duo of Jackie Daly and Séamus Creagh.
The line up for the concert will feature Jackie Daly, Jimmy Crowley, Conal Ó Grada, Colm Murphy, Eoin O Riabhaigh, Mick Daly & Tana O’ Brien plus Pat Ahern, Fred Willis and Ger Shine of Coppinger Stang.
No doubt the concert will revisit tunes and songs not played for decades. And you can be sure there will be a few stories told of the craic and banter had at the Phoenix during those heady days – miss it at your peril.
