Venue details
This small intimate venue is be available to musicians to put on concerts/gigs in an effort to promote both new and already established acts from the city and further a field. As many of Cork's smaller venues have unfortunately had to close their doors, we want to recreate a 'listening room' and perhaps (darewe say it!) even bring back some of the magic from the days of places like 'The Lobby'! We want this space to be a platform for upcoming acts to showcase their material without the huge costs of hiring a venue and also a place for more established acts to come and play in a small setting, to an appreciative audience, knowing their requirements will be met to the best of our ability. It is essential to us that every performer and audience member leaves 'Coughlan's Live' wanting to come back for more.
