SIRIUS presents two events exploring the connection between music, history, landscape and the elements: a performance by the singer-songwriter Lewis Barfoot, who has previously been in residency at SIRIUS, and an after-dark paranormal tour of the SIRIUS building by Cobh Supernatural Investigators

Performance by Lewis Barfoot
7 - 8pm
Free; no booking required

Lewis Barfoot is an Irish/English singer-songwriter based in County Cork. She blends ethereal, evocative vocals with original compositions and reinventions of traditional songs. Barfoot and her band present a unique musical promenade across the galleries and other areas of the building, featuring gently uplifting melodies that warm the heart and soothe the soul. On this occasion, she is joined by Gabriel Buffa on clarinet and Jordi Sanchez Campanario on ukulele and percussion. Barfoot’s 2021 debut album, Glenaphuca, received great support from RTÉ 1, FRUK, BBC Radio Ulster and RTÉ na Gaeltachta. Her new album, “HOME”, partly written while in residency at SIRIUS, is set for release on 17 November 2023, and welcomes rivulets of jazz and a beautiful rhythm section to her folk palette.
