This looks like another one of those dodgy rip off "competitions" that bands are always asked to enter.

We come along, bring all of our mates....don't get paid....and the prize on the night goes to whoever brings the biggest crowd.
This has no reflection on talent or musical ability and it looks like being nothing short of a sham.

The organisers of this also have no website, hence the gmail account...so that means if and when the prize is not forthcoming there is nobody to go looking for. If they were legitimate there would be a website, with a proper contact name and details. There is not.
Plus it also means that the bands have to travel up to Dublin to claim their "prize"....and what are the bets that they have to "claim" it by a certain date too? Why couldn't they get a recording studio in Kerry or Cork for the winners?

This is one of those "competitions" best avoided and anyone who enters is only going to waste their time. This is nothing but a con job.

Well done to the moderator here for spotting this and clamping down on the poster.

Anyone can have a website, that does nt mean their legitimate, i could make one 2moro for free would that make ok then?? we dont find the need for a having our own website, if you bothered to read our post properly it has our facebook page as we can interact much better with our 500 bands we have on our lists, and this is exactly the same as having a website anyone can set one uo easy. so I dont take your slander very well.

I have laid out all the guidelines perfectly if you dont want to play that fine, but you cant go slandering an event you ve no evidence to slander bar your own band experience somewhere else, not every band competition is run by the same people you should.

Also the reason we brought up on boards was for not numbering the guildlines (1-9) and and forgot to mention bands dont get paid to enter a competition, not exactly jail time offence but i do respect boards.ie alot and will not forget again.

Also the recording prize is in Dublin as that is where were based,and we said we would sort the winner out with gigs in Dublin so thought it may be cool for them to come to Dublin for a weekend do a few gigs and record a few songs, we can sort one in Kerry if they would prefer no probs.

And this is a competition, think of any competition you may of entered beofre, whether it the late late show, 2FM or a Lotto ticket, you pay them to enter whether its through text or your own cash and the chances of fair less than this 8 to 1 competition where only your mates pay in and not you.

Lastly heres a list of some of our previous winners, so if you think Live and Unsigned Dublin is dodgy go ask them first how did they get own with there free recording, photo shoots etc plus recently we ve added more prizes to the list now so not all bands would of got the magazine review and free practice time but all would of got the studio recording time and photos-hoot when they won

here's a few bands who won our night so go ask them how they got our enjoying our night and winning our prizes, then hopefully you take your slander back!!

No I won't take anything back.....and there is no slander there either.

If a band wanted to get gigs in Dublin there are plenty of promoters they could get in touch with. I could list a dozen or so people that can organise gigs for unsigned bands, and they would be people very well known on the Dublin circuit too.
They wouldn't be expecting them to bring a crowd with them either.

Stereomaniac

Hey Marty. Can you get me a gig in Dublin!

Magicmarty

I am from Cork myself....but there are a few heads in Dublin that could sort you out with a gig up there.

Good people that spring to mind are the guys running Dimestore Recordings, Keiron Black, Zodiac Sessions, Ruby Sessions, Saucy Sundays, The Pint, Phillip Ó'Baoighealláin, The King Kong Club, The Workman's Club, The Button Factory.

If you send any of those guys/venues an e-mail/facebook them they would gladly hook you up with a gig in Dublin.
They would also know heaps of other promoters too and get you gigs around Dublin.


I am not a promoter myself. I am just a humble musician/misunderstood musical genius.

Marty. For your information, this guy has defended himself to the hilt in face of naysayers like yerself a million times on these threads.

he's also been defended many's a time by the bands who have played his nights.

he doesn't dress his nights up as anything else than what he's said above, the bands seem to enjoy it, get to play in front of a few people, and they're not out of pocket. there's half decent prizes too.

i have no affiliation to him or his night, and i'm no fan of dodgy promoters, having done a bit of the dublin scene myself.

your last post confirms you don't seem to know what you're talking about.

most of the nights you've mentioned are the reserve of the more established, higher quality bands (that's why they have a good reputation), not young starters, looking for their first foray into gigging.

then you mention The Workman's Club and The Button Factory? What are you talking about?! These are just venues! what are you suggesting the bands do? Shell out a hire charge to hire them and lose money on trying to fill it? or have a misunderstood you? there's lots of other small venues in dublin you could just throw out there while you're at it...but it would make just as little sense.

please give us more information or else you just sound like one of the many others that comes on armed with disinformation seemingly just to have a good bitch and a moan.
