MARBLE CITY NIGHTS: Sinéad Connolly’s guide to going out in Kilkenny this weekend

WHAT better way to celebrate the end of a four-day week than to head out on a Friday night?
And if you’re planning on letting your hair down this weekend, Kilkenny has a whole host of musical treats in store.
Matt the Miller’s will be hopping to the sound of The Kilkennys at 10pm tonight, while Drops of Green will take to the stage at Kyteler’s Inn two hours earlier.
John Cleere’s hosts Rachel Yamagata & Clive Barnes at 9pm on Saturday. Or if you’re looking for a quality trad session, hop along to Matt the Miller’s at 6pm on Sunday.
So don’t let the miserable weather forecasts get you down – brew up your own storm this weekend and enjoy all the Marble City has to offer!
