Irish acoustic folk rock band Hermitage Green gave Cork music fans a pre-Christmas present with a hair-raising show at Cork City Hall on Sunday night (Dec 22nd) before the festive season kicked off. The Limerick based five-piece consisting of Dan Murphy (guitar and vocals), Barry Murphy (Bass and vocals), Dermot Sheedy (drums and bodhran), Darragh Graham (percussion, digeridoo and banjo), and Darragh Griffin (keys and guitar) had the crowd in party mode from the second they took the stage.

Limerick-born artist NIYL kicked off the night with his unique blend of powerful vocals.
