Kavangh's Old Fort Live makes up for Picnic loss

Laois nightlife has sparked into life in Portlaoise on what should have been Electric Picnic weekend.

PJ Kavanagh has stepped into the gap to deliver a great menu of entertainment during the Kavanagh's Old Fort Live mini festival.

Smash Hits and The Valves delivered the goods in spades on Friday night September 3 at the specially designated venue at the Laois music hub in the old Scoil Mhuire school.

Photographer Alf Harvey covered the event and sent in some great pictures when Smash Hits mashed it up.

The lineup of big names and big nights out who will perform to Saturday September 11 includes Hudson Taylor, Pogueology, Smash Hits, Transmitter, Goitse, The Whistlin Donkeys, Cua, Light Years (Pearl Jem) and Mack Fleetwood.
