Ireland has long enjoyed a special relationship with live music. That's why, as part of a special feature, we're celebrating the venues that provide a crucial platform for Irish and international acts to share their music with gig-goers right across the country. Next up, we're heading to Kilkenny...

Since opening its doors a decade ago, the Set Theatre has firmly established itself as a brilliant, state-of-the-art venue, located on the bustling John Street in the heart of Kilkenny City. A beautiful building – one of only two David Collins-designed spaces in Ireland – it regularly hosts films, music and comedy, and gets thoroughly involved in town affairs during festival season. The organisers also put on shows in the nearby St Canice’s Cathedral.
