MARBLE CITY NIGHTS: Sineád Connolly’s going-out guide for Kilkenny this weekend
DONT let the possibility of a few showers dampen your spirits this weekend! The summer is whizzing by and before you know it schools will be back, and companies will be booking Christmas parties!!
For now, ignore all that and grab your sunnies and soak up the rays in Kilkenny’s beautiful beer gardens, that is if they break through.
Deep Down Detox is performing at Ryans at 10:30pm on Friday, or why not enjoy the live music and DJ at Brogan’s Bar on Saturday night. The party doesn’t have to be over on Sunday with the Hot 4 Jazz Quartet in the Left Bank, or head to the Dylan Whiskey Bar to see Kevin and Eugene at 9:30pm.
