Episode notes

We close the final episode of this series with music promoter Joe Kelly who has had an exciting and extensive career in the music scene in Cork since the early 90's at the iconic Sir Henry's to today hosting the much loved Live at St.Luke's.

Joe is a self professed 'blow-in' from Galway who came to Cork in the early 90's to study at UCC and he has never left. He started his career as a DJ at clubs across Cork & led a successful night at Sir Henry's with More Disco. From there, it kickstarted a vibrant career in music promotion spanning 40 years across infamous Cork venue's such as the Bodega, The Savoy, The Pavillion & venues that no longer exist today, but are nostalgic & played a vital part the music & culture scene in Cork. Joe also purchased many venues throughout his career to host these events.

Today he is one of the maestro's behind Live at St.Lukes, one of Cork's most unique music experience as well as All Together Now Festival and several others that are too long to mention. And how could we not mention The Podcast Festival - one of the first festivals of its kind in Cork that makes a triumphant return this year. We have a lot of entertaining nights in Cork to thank Joe for over the years.
