Esker Arts to host Midland Rocks Youth Festival Showcase Gig

The Music Generation Offaly Midland Rocks Youth Music Festival Showcase Gig will bring to a close two days of music, creativity and collaboration at Esker Arts on Sunday, October 18.

Hosted by with guest MC Dubh Lee, some of the Midlands’ most talented young musicians will perform live at the Tullamore venue from 7pm this weekend.
