Launch of Bandon biodiversity plan

An ambitious 5-year biodiversity action pan is being launched by members of the Bandon community this morning in the Bandon library at 11am.

The plan is being run by Bandon Environmental Action Group and has plans to create wildlife corridors and improve green spaces in the town.

5 schools along with guide and scout groups are involved as they try to engage with younger generations.

Protest song in Schull

Martin Leahy has been travelling to Dublin every Thursday to perform his protest song 'Everyone Should Have a Home' outside the Dáil to highlight the housing crisis.

This Monday he will travel in the opposite direction to Schull, to perform in Newman's Corner House as part of their 'Off-Pique' events.

Ballydehob-based singer-songwriter Catherine Cunningham will also perform - the show starts at 8pm

Irish Chamber Orchestra in Bantry

The Irish Chamber Orchestra will be presenting a much-anticipated concert with popular German violinist and conductor Florian Donderer, tonight in St Brendan's Church in Bantry at 7.30pm.

According to their website, they revisit 'David Fennessy’s remarkable and ethereal Hirta Rounds evoking memories of Scottish islanders leaving their homes of many centuries.'

Florian Donderer will give an emotive perform of Haydn’s Violin Concerto – an all-time favourite.

It promises to be an evening of joyful music!
