Real Music With An Irish Accent
'Music is essentially useless, as life is' - George Santayana (1863 - 1952) 'Information, like money, is useless until you use it...' Ron Healy, IrishUnsigned IrishUnsigned is a cross-genre, nationwide showcase and resource for all new or unsigned Irish acts, whatever they play, from Fenders to Fiddles. We don't deem it to be relevant whether these acts want to get signed or whether they intend to go about their music in a DIY or even anti-industry manner. IrishUnsigned will help to develop and promote an already vibrant Irish music scene at grass roots level whether it be for the benefit of the bands, the buying and gig-going public or the industry itself. We believe that information is the key to accurate and effective decision-making at all levels - and exposure is the key to success. These are the two areas we try to focus on. IrishUnsigned will also encourage music fans to 'cross-over' to different genres and styles. All types and styles - from rock to reggae, classical to calypso, traditional to top-ten material will be featured on IU. Some of the Acts featured in the Artists section of IrishUnsigned have been afforded national media exposure of the highest level (see Jade and David Hope as two examples) while others have probably never been seen outside their own bedroom or garage. To us, it is irrelevant how well known a band or act is: IrishUnsigned do not consider it a prerequisite for a band to have the capability of attracting hundreds of fans to gigs, or of selling hundreds of CD's. In fact, since we are all about not making money an issue in our dealings with bands, their 'fame' or otherwise is all-but pointless as far as IU is concerned. Our main purpose in creating IrishUnsigned.com was to provide an online one-stop resource for bands and artists to gather information about the music business so they can make educated decisions, as well as for media, or industry organisations to access new and upcoming bands, see/hear them and arrange showcase/contact gigs etc. We are a non-profit making organisation and our sole reason for existing is to ensure that there is a middle ground between the music makers and the money makers. No, really, it is... |
