FourP in Cork, Ireland

Fourpence were delighted to be among the invited artists flown to Ireland for this years Livestyles Hip Hop Festival.

Despite the rain, they battled on and finished the main wall in good time and managed to squeeze in a few extra walls between the many passing rain clouds.

A big thanks to all the Cork heads for hooking it up and everyone who came and supported the event!
