Kilkenny has always been the Marble City.
This November, four music sessions fill
its smallest rooms, featuring:
David Murphy, Lisa Hannigan,
Cardinals and Lucy McWilliams.
Come in from the cold. Sit near the front.
Nov 6th to Nov 8th 2026
Great songwriters and sharp minds, brought together in historic rooms. Warm acoustics, cold pints, and meaningful conversation.
Join David Murphy at the intimate and historic setting of The Hole In The Wall, performing music from his critically-acclaimed album ‘Cuimhne Ghlinn: Explorations in Irish Music for Pedal Steel Guitar’. His all-instrumental record recasts ancient Irish harp tunes and historic airs into the 21st century with the swelling, expressive and mournful sounds of this evocative and ever-mysterious instrument.
An intimate afternoon session at Cleere's with singer-songwriter Lucy McWilliams.
An evening at the Hole in the Wall with Lisa Hannigan, one of the country's most brilliant singer-songwriters. This is a rare chance to catch her in such a special and intimate setting.
Cardinals close out Saturday night at The Set Theatre. 'Indie's next great storytellers"- The Observer ; "Impressively confident, swaggering Indie rock'- NME ; "Another music giant could be about to step out of Ireland" -Sterogum.
