There's good news for imaginary Flying V owners with Ireland making its debut at this year's World Air Guitar Championships in Finland.

Taking place in Oulu on August 25, the competition is being contested by 12 different nations who'll be batting it out for the first prize of €2,500 in cash and a real guitar.

If you reckon you can riff it like Jimi, pop along to the Irish Trials which take place between 2 and 6pm on July 3 at Eamonn Doran's. The top 10 make it through to July 22's Grand Final at The Village.
