Culture Night

This Culture Night the Parade in Kilkenny will be alive with the sounds and flavours of the street, with poets, choirs, singers and DJs.

The Kilkenny Arts Office-lead event is also bringing gourmet tacos from the Bula Bus and chocolates from the Truffle Fairy to the parade as you watch the young poets from the Rhyme Rag Ensemble, listen to Kairen Caine and The Unity Singers then shuffle your feet to the beats of the se7en inch collective.

Who’s on stage?

The se7en inch collective pack up their record boxes and bring their special blend of vinyl only singles to the street, spinning everything from soul, hip hop, dub, ska, punk and more.

Founded in 1967, The Unity Singers will be performing around 6pm. Since winning first prize in the Cork Choral Festival in 1975 they have gone on to win awards at numerous music festivals, even performing at Carnegie Hall to over 2000 people.

Rhyme Rag Ensemble is a movement of young writers, aged 13-18, who meet monthly in Desart Hall. The writers inspire and support each other through sharing their work, working with professional writers and building their community.

Indie-folkster Kairen Caine performs with guitarist Kevin Bruce and singer Mary Russell.
