There’s a new element to Irish Music Month this year…
As well as a search for A New Local Hero, Irish Music Month will also look to unearth a cracking, originally composed song as Gaeilge.
Amhrán an Laoch is the song of the hero (or the hero’s song) – so if you or someone you know is writing songs through Irish – or using Irish extensively – get them to upload that song or track at www.irishmusicmonth.ie
If it’s your song that gets selected as Amhrán an Laoch, you will win:
• Airplay support across 21 independent Irish radio stations
• Guaranteed coverage in and support from Hot Press
• €2,000 euro prize money
• Music industry mentoring & support
• An opportunity to perform live at the A New Local Hero National Finale @ The Academy, Dublin in October and
• A record label release of your song with further on air support & promotion
