After a closure that lasted 10 years, the Savoy in Cork is to be reborn as a live music venue and cultural space. Local promoters the Good Room are working in conjunction with building owners Clarendon Properties to relaunch the venue on Valentine’s Weekend. “We are delighted to get the Savoy open again,” said Joe Kelly, who will be running the venue with his fellow Good Room principals Ed O’Leary and Caoilian Sherlock. Kelly says the Good Room promoters will continue to run events at Live at St Luke’s. As a music venue, it has hosted concerts by a diverse range of major stars, from the likes of Count John McCormack and the Rolling Stones, to Damon Albarn and Run DMC.
