This week has seen the opening of Live At The Marquee, a month long festival of music and comedy, set in a marquee in Cork.

Every year I keep telling myself i’m going to go, and then I end up not going. If the Noel Gallagher gig was on a weekend instead of a Tuesday, i’d be there. I haven’t got as much Annual Leave to use as i’d like.

Maybe next year will be the year, as I do want to visit Cork again, having not been since 1999.

If you are lucky enough to be heading over, here’s a chart for you based on the acts performing

FIVE SONGS BY ACTS PERFORMING AT LIVE AT THE MARQUEE

2. The Waterboys – The Whole Of The Moon
