The Frames lit up Cleere’s in Kilkenny on their small venue tour last night, delivering the kind of electric performance that only a room like this can hold. Full of heart, the show was a reminder of just how powerful live music can be when there’s barely any space between band and audience.

This run of intimate dates is more than just a tour, it’s a show of support for local grassroots venues, shining a spotlight on the independent spaces that nurture live music and keep communities connected.
