Project Description:
The Lobby was commissioned to record, live in The Lobby Bar, a compilation album presenting, in as broad a way as possible, a snapshot in time of contemporary music culture in Cork in 2005.

The result, a special edition CD compilation, ‘Magic Nights in The Lobby Bar’ celebrates the rich diversity of original musicians on Leeside, presenting a sample of the vast range of creative musical talent from Cork's finest traditional, folk, contemporary and rock exponents and writers.

The triple CD set features 53 original acts from Cork, or based in Cork during 2005. Artists include: Louis de Paor, Stanley Super800, Karl Nesbitt, Mick Flannery, Clare O'Mahony, Ant'o, John Leo Carter, Niall Connolly, Karan Casey, Caoimhin Vallely, Buille, Billy Mangan, Red Sea Pedestrians, Elephant, Ger Wolfe & The New Skylarks, Jodavino, Jason O'Driscoll, John Spillane, Jessie Kennedy, Mandy Murphy, Girls Of Summer, Tony Davis, Paul Tiernan, Ceili Allstars, Gaz Murphy, Scribble, Sinead Lohan, Lerner, Eugene Brosnan, Aine Whelan, The Stargazers, Fuchsia, Ciara O'Flynn, Mairtin De Cogain, Anto Yau, Edel Sullivan, Annette Buckley, North Cregg, Hank Wedel, Declan Sinnott, Ian Whitty, Jamie Burke, Eoin Coughlan, Dylan & My Evil Ex, Wiggle, Johnny Scott, The Lynch Mob, Freddie White, Fred, Rulers of the Planet, Mongoose, Princes Street, Maire Ni Cheileachair. All of the tracks in this collection were recorded live in The Lobby during January/February and June/July 2005.

Following 17 years of live music in The Lobby, the venue closed in August 2005. The CD compilation has therefore become a tribute to all the musicians who played there and to the many music lovers who supported the concerts over the years.
