Headline acts playing "secret gigs" in pubs all across cork for Arthur's day.

Chris.Buckley

There's apparently a lineup of "secret concerts" taking place in various pubs across cork on Arthur's day (27th september)featuring acts such as Fatboy Slim, Tinie Tempah, Ellie Goulding, Mika and Professer Green. "Corkonians are invited to vote for their local with the winning pubs securing one of the headlining artists". The artist decided for each pub won't be decided until the night, and with 50 pubs involved, should be a good laugh. more info at guinness.com

Yup

I voted for Reardons a bunch of times

Think they wanted Professor Green, I'd prefer Tinie Tempah myself

Fatboy slim is supposedly one of the acts!

Vote for Reardens so I don't have to walk too far!

These are a load of rubbish. I went to the Savoy, Cork last year because I was told that my favourite artist, Neil Hannon was headlining. He was on for four songs and then he was carted away to one of the "secret locations" to play for people who had bought tickets to see somebody who wasn't him. It's the most idiotic idea I've ever heard to encourage people to pay for tickets to see artists they like and then to take away said artist and replace the artist other people paid to see with the artist I paid to see.

I can't fathom what the point of it is.

Marketing!! Diageo are geniuses! Interestingly for a supposed celebration of an Irish cultural institute there isn't any Irish bands headlining.

Why is an alcoholic promoting a drink?

The think about the voting is every venue is up against one another for the biggest acts.

Its excellent marketing but I wont be voting for anyone.

It's embarrassing IMHO
Along with the Bulmers Cider Ads...:o

I agree with you, it's a farce! I'm surprised it's lasted this many years actually. I haven't seen those Bulmers ads.

Thanks The Scratcher. You're in for a real treat when you see the Bulmers embarrassment :rolleyes:

Considering I wouldn't pay to see any of them, sounds like a good deal.

pint of Beamish for me please!

Chloris

They don't sell Beamish at those. Murphys, Guiness and Heineken taps are set up to replace the usual taps in the venue. Or at least, that's what happened at the Savoy on Martha's Day last year.

that was the joke

Majesticzebras

Kinda wish they would quit the whole idea.....not funny
