Bring music to lunchtime with Wood Quay Summer Sessions
Written by This July forget about sitting in the office for lunch, instead head over to Wood Quay Amphitheatre for a music session.
Wood Quay Summer Sessions returns this July for four weeks of free concerts. Every Thursday throughout July, there will be a free lunchtime concert at Dublin’s Wood Quay Amphitheatre. This is the third year of free concerts that run from 1pm – 2pm. Every week, music fans will have the opportunity to see new and upcoming acts, as well as established acts, from across a wide range of genres performing in the wonderful setting of the outdoor Wood Quay Amphitheatre in Dublin’s city centre.
Founded by Dublin City Council and presented in association with First Music Contact (FMC), Improvised Music Company (IMC), Music Network and
Contemporary Music Centre (CMC), the Wood Quay Summer Sessions offers something for all music fans from trad to hip-hop, classical to contemporary
