Pearse McGloughlin, one of our skills exchange members, sent me in this info on a new music collective he’s involved with in Dublin. Many of the musicians working with him on the project are familiar to me and all are outstanding musicians in their own right. It’s wonderful to see more collective projects happening and if you happen to be in Dublin next Thursday 8th March be sure to check them out and say hello.
So here’s the blurb:
Urchin Collective is a movement of independent musicians based in Ireland operating in the genres of avant garde electronica, folk, Irish language, trad, alternative and indie.
Inspired by the work of other Irish and international collectives such as Community Music and Blocks Recording Club, in the next year we will release a sampler of our music and present several curated events.
The first of these shows will take place at Bewley’s Theatre Café on 8th March and will feature Enda Reilly, Fia Rua, Justin Grounds and
Pearse McGloughlin. Doors are at 8.00pm and admission is €12
We have words.
We have spirit.
Come join us.
