Performances by Stagecraft, Clonmel Community Choir, Wannabe Frank – the "Enter The Night Supergroup" –, and special guests

ENTER THE NIGHT // LIVE ON KICKHAM PLAZA!

Something very special has been brewing in Tipperary this summer…

Meet 'Wannabe Frank'

Nine young Tipperary musicians, aged 16 to 25, have been coming together as the 'Enter The Night Supergroup', working with Musical Director Stephen McGrath Bass (CrowBlackChicken & Music Generation Tipperary) to arrange, write and create a one-off live performance for Culture Night, this September 18th.

And they won't be doing it alone…

Guest Artist-Mentors

Sarah Corcoran - Pillow Queens

Cathal Mac Gabhann - The Altered Hours

MayKay — Fight Like Apes/ Le Galaxie

The mentors will share their experience with the young musicians throughout the programme before joining them on stage to perform their own original material backed by the Supergroup, Wannabe Frank

The night will also feature emerging local acts, a promenade performance from Stagecraft in collaboration with Clonmel Junction Arts Festival's Tom Campell masks, and a huge finale bringing the Supergroup, guest artists, Stagecraft and Clonmel Community Choir together on one stage.

Be there for one night, one stage, and a new generation of Tipperary musicians.
