The Jameson Cult Film Club made its debut in Cork with an unforgettable
screening of Snatch at the Cork City Hall. This event was brought on the road
following the highly successful screenings of cult classics Reservoir Dogs,
Alien, The Usual Suspects and The Blues Brothers in Dublin.
Guests were also treated to ‘Micky O’Neill’ burgers and ‘Turkish’
sausages while enjoying the refreshing Jameson and Ginger cocktails. Enjoying the experience were rugby stars
Thomas O’Leary and Doug Howlett as well as Munster player Billy Holland.
Cork City Hall was completely transformed into a series of sets from
the film; including an open trailer park and a boxing ring as characters from
the movie greeted guests and re-enacted famous scenes from the movie live on
stage. Throughout the screening, live theatre, props and staging transported
the audience into the world of a London Gangster, creating an electric
atmosphere in the venue.
