    IrishUnsigned has been asked by a (soon to be launched) Dublin radio station - a commercial one - to design a 2-hour weekend evening programme around the IrishUnsigned.com concept (ie exposure and information for any bands not signed to a major label or signed outside Ireland to an Indie). What we want to di is simple: Get unsigned artists, whether they are relatively new like Sutras, Clann Zu, Tarebo, Jade etc or even older versions like the Hothouse Flowers some more exposure. and if it can include radio play then all the better.

    We would like to know what you, the listeners and gig goers, wnat to hear on a show that would last two hours. It can't be all demos and songs - there would be sections - but we need to know what sections and subsections would be well received.

    As it is, the Station in question hasn't given us much of a guideline and it occurred to us that we could just as easily, and perhaps without as much intereference! - do this on PhantomFM, which is already associated with real music. We have contacted them for an opiniopn on this but, other than content suggestions, we also would like to know about any other pirate (or not?) stations around the country that regularly feature new irish music and would be amenable to a show like this. We might even get lucky and end up with a kind-of syndicated show in various parts of the country. After all, there is as much good new music outside Dublin so they should be able to listen to it out there as well!

    Any dieas, email info@IrishUnsigned.com or go to the site at www.IrishUnsigned.com to see what we are all about (but bear with us, the site needs a lot of work and there is not a lot of spare time around!)

    Keep listening
