Music Space 126
Music Space 126 was set up as an alternative space for intimate music. We hosted the nights in a beautiful Georgian room – it was formerly a bedroom – in the centre of Cork City that had a maximum capacity of 30 people.
Musicians had to play completely unplugged and were encouraged to experiment with their existing material, try out new songs, new ways of presenting their set as well as having a bit of fun with their audience. The sessions were candlelit, very relaxed, laid back, all seated, no stage and very raw. We loved it and critically so did our audiences and musicians
