Cork Gig Guide: 8th-14th March 2016

This week in Cork: OKO & Tim Berne, The Vincent(s) and more…

Musical tightrope walkers OKO team up with New York saxophonist to deliver something a little different – and a teeny bit special – in Gulpd Café on Sunday evening, ending in improvisational style  a somewhat surprisingly slow week for live music in Cork.
