An Audience with …… has been running on Television for over thirty years. Each performer invites their own guests to perform and the audience also has an opportunity to ask questions giving the show a light hearted and informal style.For the monthly “A Cobh Audience with….”, See You in Cobh is providing the venue, the stage, the sound and lighting and the publicity and is paying the performer a fee.

See You in Cobh wants to highlight the enormous talent that there is in Cobh. Many of the performers will have performed throughout Ireland and some of their guests will never have been seen in front of a Cobh audience before.
There is a maximum of five questions allowed from the audience. These give some insight into the life, influences, ambition and outlook of each performer. Members of the audience are chosen to ask the questions as they arrive for each concert.
The See You in Cobh committee has decided that all of the proceeds of these events will be used to re-illuminate the exterior of St. Colman’s Cathedral with LED lights. This is estimated to cost €35,000. The committee is also investigating possible grant assistance. The more events that the people of Cobh sell-out, the faster this ambition will be realised.
There is already a shortlist of thirty World class performers and stars to make “A Cobh Audience with….” a long running event in Cobh. It is possible that not all of the performers will be singers.
The first “A Cobh Audience with…. John Daly” was an outstanding success. The second performer will be Caitriona Fallon who was a lead soloist with Riverdance. Since returning to live in Cobh she has performed a sell out concert in the Half Moon Theatre, has wowed audiences in Kilkenny and Wallis’s in Midleton and has recently completed a series of gigs to great acclaim with her band at the Cobh Blues Experience.
The second “A Cobh Audience with…. “ is not to be missed and will be held on Saturday 16^th October at 8 pm in the Great Island Community Centre. Tickets are only €10 and are available from the Commodore Hotel and the Community Centre.
