The Midland Rocks Youth Music Festival Showcase Gig is the exciting finale to two days of music, creativity and collaboration, bringing together some of the Midlands’ most talented young musicians for a special live performance at Esker Arts with guest MC Dubh Lee.

Throughout the festival, young musicians from across the Midlands have the opportunity to develop their skills, build confidence and gain valuable experience working alongside industry professionals and professional musician educators. The Showcase Gig is their chance to take to the stage and share the music they have created and developed during the festival.

Mid week wander! 🚶‍♀️
St. Cormac’s Well Walk in Kilcormac explores a site associated with St Cormac Ua Liatháin, described by St Adamnan as a “soldier of Christ.” A priest from Munster, St Cormac succeeded St Columcille as Abbot of Durrow Monastic Site and later travelled with him in the conversion of Scotland. He undertook three perilous sea voyages seeking solitude as a hermit. The walk centres on St Cormac’s Well, a place of prayer where visitors can follow traditional pilgrimage stations still observed today.
