I've heard that my favorite band, Capercaillie, will give a concert in Cork City on September 4th, but haven't been able to find out more information. I'll be in Ireland at that time and would like to order tickets in advance.

Is there a nationwide agency, like Ticketmaster here in the US? Or can anyone point me to a website that has details about the venue?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

(the "ie" gets you to the specifically Irish site)...enjoy your trip!

Thanks, Maurice.

No info there, however. Any other suggestions?

I'd say try again in a week or two, maybe they just haven't got that concert set up yet. It's also possible that they don't think it a big enough event to cover. Maybe if you try Capercaille (can't spell it!) website, or try searching on Google for Cork+ city+ hall. The Cork city tourist board must have a site, an email to them might discover something...Meanwhile if I see anything I'll get back.

They most likely will play at The Lobby Bar, the usual venue for their sort of music in Cork. The website has a number to give them a shout.

Or you might try the Cork Opera House as well, now that I think of it.
