    Just posting here to say my original band has done a number of gigs in the last few weeks in Dublin in venues such as Sweeney's, Fibber Magees, The Workman's Club and The King Kong Club. Trying to get some good karma here so if any of you guys want our contact list just PM me. :)

    Alright folks,

    We (being the band My Pilot) have a gig in Whelans next Thursday 28th April 2016 which has landed in our laps at short notice. We are looking for a support act.

    Being the least well-connected band in the world, we don't have any musician friends we can ask to support us on the night. So basically this is a shout out to any interested bands/acts who might be available at a week's notice.

    It's one of those 'Midnight Hour' gigs upstairs at Whelans at, erm, midnight.

    Give us a shout if you fancy it.

    Email: contactmypilot at gmail dot com
    Twitter: my_pilot

    You could also bring this to the attention of anyone you know whose band might be able to step in.

    Cheers y'all!

    Don't forget to check with your local arts office to see what grants or bursaries might be available to musicians! Just make sure to put together a sound financial plan and budget with supporting material. This kind of thing can be very uselful for recording and distribution.

    Dublin City bursaries are now live:

    Dolbert,

    Have you heard of any bands getting a bursary before? Just not sure whether to apply to my local council. We aren't full time gigging, but are looking to put out new EP august and need funding.

    Yep, me! I got a grant from Kildare CoCo for a few hundred last year to fund mostly equipment costs and distribution for our new EP (home recording). They also have a bursary for 3 days in the studio which is well worth applying for. That was the standard grant though, which normally comes out in January (it's different in Dublin City, they come out in September). They're well worth applying for, most musicians aren't even aware of them.

    Plenty of gigs available in Fibbers over next few months. We've played a few of these, unpaid but they'll keep you tight.

    Also give these guys in Ballymun a shout.
