Bumper December at Sea Church with Jerry Fish among acts

December to see a huge variety of quality gigs at the Ballycotton venue

Sea Church Ballycotton is gearing up for its busiest Christmas yet with a host of acts covering genres from traditional Irish, to grunge, to classic pop. Among the many highlights in December are Lisa Canny, An ABBA Tribute Act, Jack L, and Jerry Fish, who will bring his Electric Sideshow to the stunning East Cork venue for a New Year’s Eve extravaganza. 

December 16th sees Mayo native Lisa Canny take to the stage at Sea Church. An All Ireland Champion Banjo and Harp player, the talented musician is best known for her unique covers and powerful live performances. 

Firm favourites The Super Troupers make their return to Ballycotton on December 21st, with the Cork act expected to bring a real Christmas party vibe covering all the ABBA classics.

The legendary Jack Lukeman AKA Jack L will bring his seasonal performance “Northern Lights – Songs of the Winter Solstice”, over two nights on December 22nd and 23rd, while December 26th is one for lovers of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins and more; as ‘The Year Grunge Broke’ is bound to raise the roof. 

The Christmas season at Sea Church will be rounded off with a major New Year’s Eve party, as Jerry Fish & The Electric Sideshow will transform the venue into a circus wonderland. The night kicks off at 9pm when guests will be treated to a complimentary glass of bubbly, followed by a performance by local folk duo Dark & Lively. Jerry Fish will then ring in 2024 with a spectacle that sees him as carnival creator and circus ringmaster while performing all of his back catalogue of greatest hits. 

Commenting on the December programme, General Manager of Sea Church, John Kidney said the offering is eclectic and bound to draw crowds: “Our Christmas schedule is jam-packed with fantastic music. We’re especially proud of our line-up of Irish acts, from the supremely talented Lisa Canny to the legendary Jack L who’s performing here for two nights on December 22nd and 23rd. We also have some great tribute acts on December 8th and 9th; Karma Police – a Tribute to Radiohead, and a Garth Brooks tribute act. New Year’s Eve with Jerry Fish & The Electric Sideshow promises to be really special and a brilliant way to ring in the new year in Ballycotton.”
