Ed Sheeran absolutely rocked Cork last night on the sold out first night of his stint in the Rebel County. The Pairc was packed out and by all reports everyone had a fantastic time as the singer songwriter played songs from all his albums, with a few covers thrown in for good measure.
That said, Sheeran may not be everybody's thing. Musical tastes are subjective. Perhaps you have more of a classical ear, maybe you'd prefer to get out and do some yoga, or watch some stand up, or just get out to a local market. From intimate audiences with up and coming singer songwriters to a family day out at the Black Market, we have you covered.
