Cork musicians talk about resilience and moving forward in 2021 While most of us are glad to be rid of the year 2020, everyone has emerged on the other side with valuable life lessons, if nothing else. Mike McGrath-Bryan with some of the artists, promoters, writers and venue owners in Cork's music scene about what they've learned, and how they're looking at moving forward. Ray Blackwell in DeBarra’s Folk Club, Clonakilty. Picture: Bríd O’Donovan STEVIE G (DJ, radio host, promoter, columnist, producer) We've all spent a lot more time thinking about how we spend our money, especially when we have less of it. Supporting independent artists and music is gonna be important as we try to build a sense of community going forward. Cork is a small but colourful and diverse city and we have a good opportunity to benefit when this all ends eventually.
