Vince Power and John Feeley added to Music Show lineup

Live music industry stalwart Vince Power and classical guitar guru John Feeley are the latest additions to The Music Show, set for October 4-5 in Dublin's RDS.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 04 Sep 2008

Waterford man Power (pictured with Shane MacGowan) came to prominence across the Irish Sea through his involvement in the Mean Fiddler set-up, the Reading Festival, Glastonbury and countless other live endeavours. After selling the Mean Fiddler Organisation he then set up the Vince Power Music Group and involved himself with Spain's Benicassim festival. This year he launched the sold-out A Day At The Hop Farm festival in Kent, headlined by Neil Young and notable for its lack of a VIP area.

Meanwhile, Ballinasloe-born John Feeley enjoys the label of "Ireland's leading classical guitarist" bestowed upon him by The Washington Post, and is also a lecturer in the DIT Conservatory of Music. With an extensive back catalogue of recordings, qualifications and pieces written for him, Feeley has brought his love of the guitar to a whole generation.

They join an already impressive list of attendees. Island Records man Chris Blackwell will give a Keynote Series interview to Hot Press's Stuart Clark at the official launch in Trinity College Dublin on Friday October 3.

Over the following two days, The Live Stage of The Music Show at the RDS will play host to The Coronas, Damien Dempsey, The Blizzards, Ham Sandwich and many more top acts.

Down for panel discussions, debates and workshops are Liam O Maonlaí (Hothouse Flowers), Henry McCullough (guitarist, Wings/Joe Cocker), John Hughes (manager, The Corrs), Dave Robinson (founder, Stiff Records), Mark Crossingham (MD, Universal Music Ireland), Ronan Hardiman (composer), Gavin Friday and more.

The Music Show presented by Hot Press in association with RTÉ 2FM runs from October 4-5th in The RDS, Dublin. Saturday 4th October 10 am - 6.30 pm, Sunday 5th October 11 am - 6 pm.

Daily Tickets in advance are €5 for children, €10 for adults and €25 for Families (2 adults + up to 4 children) and are available on Ticketmaster now. Weekend tickets are also available
