This September is Irish Music Month and there's a new element this year

We are looking for a New Local Hero again but this time we’re also looking for an original Irish language song too.

Amhrán an Laoch is the song of the hero , so if you or someone you know is writing songs as Gaelige then send that song to irishmusicmonth.ie

If it’s your song that gets selected you 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 New Local hero National Finale @ The Academy, Dublin in October

and

• A record label release of your song with further on air support & promotion.

Cén seans, cén deis!

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.
