Co. Westmeath indie rock band The Academic brought their 'Sitting Pretty' tour to the Marble City of Kilkenny on Saturday night and just ripped it up. Fronted as usual by Craig Fitzgerald on lead vocals, the quartet, including Dean Gavin and brothers Matthew and Stephen Murtagh, were in town showcasing their February released second album Sitting Pretty and had a packed Set Theatre hopping.

Support was by Bray band Florence Road with Lily Aronon lead singer who was outstanding.
