I got an email recently that said that Music Space 126 (i.e. Music Gigs at Meade’s Wine Bar) has been closed down. The venue didn’t have a music licence so the guards called and closed it down. It’s a real shame as it’s a great intimate venue for small music gigs. Cork could do with a few more good venues. I’m still bemoaning the loss of The Lobby and thought that Meade’s Wine Bar was doing a good job of trying to fill the gap for smaller gigs.
