Here at entertainment.ie, we know how important it is to help promote up and coming Irish music, particularly the good stuff since so much of it gets overlooked. Sadly, due to the sheer volume of cds that land on my desk, I don't get to review nearly as many as I'd like to. However, I do try to listen to as many as possible, and if they're any good I give them a spin on my (cue shameless plug) all Irish show The National Express on 103.2 Dublin City FM which looks at all the best new Irish releases and up and coming artists every Thursday at 10pm.

So, if you're a struggling musician looking for some airtime, send your music and some info about you and/or your band to me, Jenny Mulligan, at entertainment.ie, 26 Great Strand St, Dublin 1, or email me at [email protected]. Most likely I'll give it a spin, and if you're lucky it may just feature here in the pages of Ireland's most popular entertainment website, entertainment.ie. Tell your friends!

By now, you'll have realised this is entire post is just one big blatant self promotion, so while I'm at it, you can also hear me go through the best new releases each week on my new 2XM show The Release Point, every Friday at 8pm (repeated Sunday at 11am) on the best darn digital radio station out here on the interweb, RTE 2XM.
