One Week to Go! They didn’t think they would get there but in one weeks’ time, Ireland Music Week will launch the 18th annual showcase and conference intact with 50 showcases and 49 workshops and panels. These are the essence of both the domestic and international relevance and importance of the event. To showcase the soundtrack to Ireland’s future and to educate the future stars on how best to protect and benefit as their profile grows.
Here’s a taste of what’s to come next week:

“For the fans and gig-goers, it is a chance to spot new acts before they get bigger, but also to discover new music and “go “ to a gig as close to how you would have experienced it in previous years, jump around from virtual room to virtual room and pick your favourites in the line-up.” – Angela Dorgan, Ireland Music Week.
