One day festival features 22 acts

Conflux is a daylong music event happening at two venues in the city this Saturday November 17. 22 diverse acts, some local and some from Cork, Galway and Dublin will ย gather in Limerick for this daylong event.

Limerickโ€™s รine Oโ€™Dwyer, a harpist who has worked with United Bible Studies, will kick off the event from 3pm. One of the event organisers, Katayoun Bahramian told Limerick Post that, โ€œWe (namely Damien Mullane from Iron Mountain/Seadog, Martin Garcia Mortell from Three Hour Ceasefire and Katayoun) wanted to organise this festival for years.

We all share a love of local music and Limerick and wanted to bring people here for gigs rather than traveling to Dublin, Galway or Cork.โ€
Aine Oโ€™Dwyer is one of the twenty-two acts playing, she will be joined by acoustic acts Cubs, Driftwood Manor and Tarracoir performing in the atmospheric downstairs room of Bourkes Bar. Later in the evening brings a sharp shift in musical gears as electronic, indie, psychedelic and metal acts take over the three floors of The Blind Pig. Across all 3 floors expect new cutting edge music from Tipperaryโ€™s Castero, Lemonada, Macronite Don Sims, Corkโ€™s Phil Collins Project and psychedelic jazz combo Great Balloon Race. Magic Pockets, MynameisJohn, Rites, Seadog and Toby Kaar will keep things groovy upstairs in Dr. Johnโ€™s. Conflux happens this Saturday November 17.
