    Originally due to be launched as a multi-venue series at The Kino in Cork back in March, the inaugural Half Moon Festival will take place online from Friday, June 26th to Sunday, June 28th.

The performance, shot live at sunrise on what looks like quite a spectacular morning, is as natural and breezy as the landscape suggests, making for an intoxicating combination that puts you right there with Brock and her band, wind billowing through your very core. Irresistible.
