Live from Filmbase

I mentioned this a while ago, but the press release is going out soon, so I might as well plug it again.

Random Thoughts are producing a series of live broadcasts from this year’s Hard Working Class Heroes. We’ll be live on RTE 2xM from 7pm till 10pm on the 16th, 17th and 18th of October with live music, acoustic sessions, interviews and tracks from a whole bunch of the 100 bands performing at the festival this year.

Presented by Paddy McKenna and Eamonn Carey, and produced by Eamonn Carey of Random Thoughts and Damian Chennells of RTE, the shows will give some of Ireland’s best up and coming bands a chance to promote their music to 2XM listeners. Naturally, given that we’re a cross-platform company, all of this content will be filmed. We’ll stream some of it, we’ll edit lots of it, and we’ll upload it to a popular video sharing site near you soon.

If you’re heading to the festival, if you’re passing through Temple Bar, or if you just like looking at flustered people, feel free to pop down and say hello. We’ll be in the window of FilmBase for the weekend. You can still get tickets for HWCH here. I’m not one to plug things for no good reason, so believe me when I say it’s well worth your while picking up a ticket. Last year’s event was brilliant. The standard of bands playing this year is incredible. Plus, a lot of the guys you see at HWCH this year will be playing much bigger stages over the coming weeks, months and years.

This is also phase one of a larger plan to do some really cool content around Irish music. If you want to hear more, why not drop us a line…
