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 irishmusicmonth.ie
Irish Music Month – Irish Radio Supporting Irish Artists – with IBI and Hot Press, supported by Coimisiún na Meán’s Sound & Vision Scheme, funded by the Television License Fee.
