I have a song demo that I quickly put together with a guitar part that I have been working on for ages.

It’s pop with influences from funk and disco.

I have some lyrics ready to go but am completely fine with scrapping them if they don’t suit.

If any vocalists are interested, please hit me up soon. The deadline to submit songs to RTE for consideration is monday at 6 pm!

I can have the song finished and ready to go by then if anyone is interested and sends me their vocals. You’d have to be comfortable singing live in front of millions of people so that’s a factor to consider.

Greetings Irish music fans. USAian here, coming in for a visit in October.

We often center travel around a show we want to see; in this case there is a show at 3Arena Dublin that my wife has determined we need to see. I am usually pretty good at finding tickets for almost anything, but this one has me stumped. The show is apparently sold out and no additional or official resale tickets have appeared on the Ticketmaster site. More perplexingly, this show isn't even listed on any of the aftermarket ticket sites (e.g. stubhub.ie) even though other Euro/UK dates for the same tour are (with multiple listings) as well as other shows at the same venue.

A go-to play would be to show up at the box office in the days before the show but my understanding is that 3Arena doesn't even have one, with all sales being via Ticketmaster. Travel dates are approaching and my reputation as a ticket wizard is in jeopardy.

Any advice or insights on how things work at this venue? Are there any other reliable/non-scammy aftermarket/resale ticket sources for shows in Ireland?

Past or Present. Emerging or Emerged. What Irish acts are you listening to at the moment. For me bit of Bricknasty, lots of Search Results and Omnibus Boners by Martina and the moons have been in my spotify recently played.

As far as established artists go tho Gilla Bands France 98 and Fontaines aren’t in my recents but are always revisited lol.

Didn’t stick with me the first few listens but I’m liking it more the more I listen. Not sure what to think of the AI video tho :/
