Music lovers in for a treat with Cafe Music Nights

Five concerts offering Offaly music lovers the chance to experience a wide range of musical repertoire are to be arranged for Thursday evenings at Tullamore Rugby Club. Organisers of the Cafe Music Nights Project have been given the go-ahead for the concert series on the back of a successful first outing in August last year, where a sellout crowd of 120 were treated to performances by the ConTempo String Quartet and friends in a diverse and colourful programme of music. Funding from the Arts Council has allowed this enthusiasm to be built on. Speaking this week organisers said each uniquely designed programme will offer a chance to hear a musical collaboration from upwards of ten artists. A platform is also to be provided for repeat performances of previously commissioned works.
