Savoy shuts its doors for club renovations
THE Savoy is closed for the month of August for renovations and the venue will not re-open fully until September 5.
When the venue does open its doors once more, it will re-launch its club nights which will include gigs by bands such as The Stunning.
A spokesman said he had been aware of rumours that the Savoy was closing because it was not able to get a licence to allow it to keep operating until 3am.
However, he said this was not true.
“These rumours have snowballed out of control and they are just not true.
“Nowhere in Cork has a 3am licence. Everyone will be in the same position of having to go to court at the end of September to apply for a renewal of their licence and we will be given the same licence as everyone else.
“We carry out renovations every August because it is a quiet month. We have decided to partially close because we are working on the floor and it would be awkward to open.”
