Sandra McShane @ The Friary (8pm, free)
And your writer quotes: “Sandra McShane: direct descendant of the McShanes of Ulster, and aunt to Lovejoy. She possesses the authority to speak, and announce the wretched truths that your mere ears will feel like they have been screwed by the spear of the divine princessness. You are gonna feel like your eyes are listening and your ears can’t unsee it.”

Luunah @ Coughlan’s (8pm, €8)
Sarah-Beth and crew continue their alt-pop excursions around the venues of Cork with an intimate gig at the Douglas Street backroom.
