Hot Press is joining forces with the Wexford Arts Centre and Beat
102-103 to present a series of monthly gigs for new bands and solo artists starting in midsummer.

Called the First Cuts Sessions, the first four gigs will be headlined by Chaplin, currently putting the finishing touches to their first album.

Bands from the South East can submit CD demos from which the support slots will be picked by Jackie Hayden (writer of our regular First Cuts column), Elizabeth Whyte, who runs the Wexford Arts Centre, and Ian Doyle from Chaplin.

To be considered for these support slots, please fill in the application form in the current Hot Press and send it with your CD to First Cuts Sessions, Hot Press, 13 Trinity Street, Dublin 2.

Bands must be based in the south-east and photocopied application forms will not be accepted.

Participating acts will have access to mentoring and promotion advice from Hot Press, and will receive airplay and publicity from Beat 102-103. For more information see the current issue of Hot Press or email firstcuts@hotpress.ie.
