8 IRISH ACTS TO SHOWCASE THIS WEEK at ESNS Online
13th-15 January

ESNS (Eurosonic) is an annual showcase of European music to bookers, festivals and agents from Europe and around the world and is a key showcase event for artists breaking European markets and airwaves.

ESNS which usually takes place in Groningen, in the Netherlands, has moved online this year and 8 Irish acts will be showcasing across the festival’s line-up. The festival showcases artists from all over Europe and this year they are making the online event free to all via https://esns.nl/

The full list of Irish acts selected for this year’s festival are:

Alex Gough / Denise Chaila / Enola Gay / JyellowL / NewDad / PowPig / Robert Grace / Tebi Rex.

The online showcases event will be available to Irish audiences and industry for free for 2021 (please note that all times are CET so if you are tuning in, remember in Ireland, it will be an hour earlier).

 

 

Alex Gough, Denise Chaila, NewDad and Robert Grace were filmed in Whelans under safe restrictions in December last year while PowPig’s performance is from Ireland Music Week in October

Christine Sisk, Director, Culture Ireland commented: “It is vital that we continue promoting Irish arts worldwide.  Eurosonic offers a key platform for Irish musicians and we are delighted that it is proceeding, albeit virtually. Given the large numbers of industry and buyers who were able to access Irish music through other virtual events in recent months, including Ireland Music Week, we are confident that this years’ showcasing of Irish artists at Eurosonic will get as much benefit as those who showcased in previous years”     

Music from Ireland is the Irish Music Export Initiative funded by the Government through Culture Ireland, supported by IMRO and run by First Music Contact to showcase Irish music internationally.

Founded in 2005, Culture Ireland – part of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht – works to generate international opportunities for Irish artists and supports Irish artists as they gain global contracts and develop their careers. In 2017, Culture Ireland reached 3.5 million live audience members and 7 million online viewers through the 450 Culture Ireland supported events presented in over 50 countries by Irish artists.
