“With a commitment to specialist music shows, new and unsigned Irish acts and partnerships with live events and festivals, TXFM aims to create a distinctive attitude, philosophy and sound catering for the young Dublin market,” they say in their mission statement. “While the main focus of TXFM is on authentic music, the schedule features everything from alternative rock and Americana, to modern soul and electronica and the whole resurgence of vinyl as a format. There will be a strong commitment to contemporary Irish music across the schedule.”
We'll be having a chat with Mr. Funge in our next issue, out on Thursday April 3.
