This Month Is Irish Music Month On WLR

So we want to find the best of Waterford's music talent in our Irish Music Month Local Hero Search.

Are you in a band and releasing your own music? Would you like to nab €5,000 and the chance to have your song played across radio stations in Ireland?

Then we want to hear from you!

Whether it’s folk, pop, rap, indie, rock, or any genre, you could be in with a chance of performing live on WLR at a nationally broadcast event AND winning a prize fund of €5000.

But that's not all, you could also have your own single recorded and released!

If your band would like to make a submission, fill out the below form before 6pm on Friday, September 24th.

WLR's Local Hero Search is part of Irish Music Month in association with IBI, Hot Press, and the Sound & Vision Fund.
