THE Church of Ireland on Bindon Street, Ennis, is the venue for a new live music experience coming to Clare. Switch, a Clare Youth Service initiative, aims to showcase old and new music talent from all over Ireland in unexpected locations around the county. The group of volunteers involved promise a “unique live music experience” with the events aimed at 18 to 25 year olds in the Clare area.
Shane Killowry, volunteer with the Ennis Music Project explains, “Switch aims to give you a concert experience with a professional atmosphere, and introduce you to your new favourite Irish artists.”
Their first show this Friday, will present local alternative rock band 39 Shots who have been writing and performing together for over six years.
They will be joined by Ennis rap veteran Clerk 5 who will be showcasing his forthcoming EP which he recently recorded with music producer Deviant and Naive Ted.
Korazoncito, a five piece band playing mainly Spanish music in an eclectic mix of styles, including rumba, funk, blues, rock and fusion will open proceedings on the night.
Switch is an alcohol and drug free event and offers an alternative Friday night experience for young people around Clare. The first event is free but donations are welcome.
