Location: Smithwick’s Experience Kilkenny, 44 Parliament Street, Kilkenny, R95 VK54
Step into the magic of a summer evening at the iconic Smithwick’s Barrel Yard as we bring the city to life after six. As part of the vibrant 6 After Six Night-Time Economy campaign, join us for a relaxed and atmospheric night of live music, good company, and unforgettable vibes.
Let the sounds of Joy & Sean set the tone for the evening, followed by the soulful melodies of Jay Sionnach — an indie-folk artist blending Celtic tradition with contemporary acoustic storytelling. Expect rich, immersive soundscapes that perfectly complement the character of the Barrel Yard as the sun begins to set.

Whether you’re winding down after work or kicking off your night in style, this is your invitation to soak up live music in a unique outdoor setting, surrounded by the heritage and charm of Smithwick’s.
