éist x Ár n-Áit

éist broadcast proceedings from Ár n-Áit in Skibbereen live on Culture Night!

Ár n-Áit present an afternoon and evening of live music, DJs and collaboration, celebrating the cultures and creative communities of contemporary West Cork and beyond.

Cork drummer and composer Dan Walsh brings FIXITY, his acclaimed experimental project where free jazz, rock, noise and improvisation collide.

Dublin’s Living Things bring their genre-defying Afro-soul sound, fusing Afropunk energy, progressive grooves and soul.

The evening culminates with Yankari Afrobeat Collective, led by Nigerian composer and bandleader Segun Akano. Their high-energy sound draws on Nigerian musical traditions, combining driving Afrobeat rhythms with jazz-infused horns, guitars, organ and voices.

DJ sets from Frawl (Love Universal), Shane Breen (VCR) and Swiss (King Street Sounds).
