Music
We have opened our doors to legends and local talent alike, offering a wide array of programmes ranging from writing to music production.
Live Music
Since opening its doors in 1990, Nerve Centre has earned a reputation as a vibrant hub for live music and artist development, with a strong focus on supporting young local musicians and creatives. We provide opportunities for emerging talent to develop their skills, perform at a professional level, and build the confidence to take their music to wider audiences.
Over the years, we have evolved into a versatile, 550-capacity music venue and bar lounge. Our stage has hosted an impressive lineup of legendary artists, including The Undertones, Kneecap, BIIRD, Sinéad O’Connor, David Gray, The Darkness, Christy Moore, Sepultura, Imelda May, Steve Vai, and Kasabian.
