Sounds From A Safe Harbour reveals headliners for September music extravaganza in Cork
Sounds From A Safe Harbour (SFSH) has revealed some of its headliners for the September event in Cork.
Not surprisingly, the biennial event is also planning a number of tributes to Eoin French, the late Cork musician who released music as Talos, and was involved with the festival since its founding in 2015. An opening concert entitled 'Remembering Talos' at the Opera House will feature many of the people who collaborated with French through the years.

Other ticketed events will feature electronic music producer Jon Hopkins, who teams up with American musician S Carey, for a double piano show; while UK singer-songwriter Ben Howard joins forces with Kate Stables (This Is The Kit). Danish art rockers Efterklang will headline the closing concert, while others on the bill from September 11 – 14 include Beth Orton, Villagers, Black Country New Road, and Rhiannon Giddens.
As well as the scheduled concerts, the festival will also run its usual series of impromptu concerts and other creative collaborations throughout the city.
This year's event is again headed up by Mary Hickson, with others on the curation team including actor Cillian Murphy, Bryce Dessner of The National, author Max Porter, and folklorist Billy MagFhlionn.
Festival director Hickson said: "This 10th edition of Sounds from a Safe Harbour feels especially meaningful. It's not only a celebration of the festival's evolution, but also a chance to deepen the relationships between artists and audiences that have been built over the years. SFSH has always been about collaboration and surprise, and this year, those principles are more alive than ever."
Further announcements are expected in the coming months, and tickets will go on sale at noon Friday, May 30 via soundsfromasafeharbour.com
