Jerry Fish

We are delighted to announce that Jerry Fish, one of Ireland’s most charismatic and engaging performers is appearing at Cork Summer Show 2024.
His unique, theatrical style mesmerizes audiences, seamlessly blurring the lines between performer and spectator. 
Jerry Fish first came to prominence in the 1990s as frontman with the alternative rock group ‘An Emotional Fish’ whose track, ‘Celebrate’ went on to become an iconic Irish indie anthem.
With two platinum solo albums, an MTV Award and an IRMA Music Award, the ever-evolving performer is one of Ireland’s most dynamic, exciting, and charismatic artists and is simply unmissable!

James Keegan

Cork singer-songwriter James Keegan is a rising star. 
Hailing from Mayfield, this highly talented musician has been winning hearts with his soulful tunes that traverse the genres of acoustic folk, rock, and pop. 
His gift for storytelling through music and creating songs resonates deeply with audiences. 
This young artist has already topped the Irish iTunes charts with three of his singles achieving No. 1.
Hotpress praises his 'soaring vocals,' while music icon Damien Dempsey described his “powerful voice with a great rasp in it.”

Gina and The Champions

Legends of the Irish music scene, Gina, Dale Haze and The Champions formed in 1973. 
The Cork band saw great success in the late 1970s and early 80s with a remarkable 25 chart hit singles and multiple best-selling albums.
50 years on, the original band members, Gina, Pat, Mossey, Eddie & Tony still perform together and regularly sell-out shows.
The band sadly lost the incredible Dale Haze, who unexpectedly passed away in 2020.
His bandmates continue to honour his memory, celebrating his legacy on stage. 
Gina and The Champions will bring their biggest hits to the Cork Summer Show, including ‘Minnie Minnie’, ‘Do You Wanna Do It’, ‘You're the Greatest Lover’, ‘Who Do You Wanna Be’, ‘Give Me Back My Love’, ‘It’s A Real Good Feeling’ and ‘Playing with Fire’.

Céilí Allstars

The Céilí Allstars, an exciting Irish trad ensemble from North Cork, began as a group of friends playing on the vibrant Cork City session trail in the late nineties. 
Their sound has echoes of their roots in Sliabh Luachra blended with generous dashes of folk and country.
They've performed at many of Cork's most iconic folk venues and have played to audiences around the world, from Sherkin to Sri Lanka!
Featuring Stan O’Sullivan and Lisa O’Sullivan on fiddles, Michael O’Sullivan on banjo, and Flor Rahilly on guitar and vocals, the Céilí Allstars bring a fresh and exciting energy to traditional music.
