Music Generation set to make waves at Seafest

Music Generation Cork City (MGCC) will curate three days of live music at Seafest this weekend.

Together with a whole host of community partners, MGCC will showcase a snapshot of the city’s vibrant youth music scene, featuring a diverse programme of trad, brass, rock and pop, world music, rap, hip-hop and more.

Highlights on Friday include performances from students at Scoil Íosagáin, St Mary’s on the Hill and Scoil Mhuire Fatima participating in a trad music collaboration, and rap musicians working with GMCBeats and Youth Work Ireland Cork.

Saturday morning will feature world music from the Cork Community Gamelan, followed by groups from SoundOUT, Music Mash Up, the Mahon Community Music Hub, the Ballyphehane Youth Project and Rebel Brass.

The final day of the festival will showcase performances from the Barrack Street Youth Band, the Mahon Community Band and a collaborative performance by 100+ young brass, wind and percussion musicians under the GaelForce banner. Rebel Brass will close out the day with an encore to remember!

The MGCC programme will run on the music stage each day between 10am and 6pm. For more information visit Music Generation Cork City’s Facebook page.
