Artist management company T-Time announces launch of Dublin office – and adds Madra Salach to roster

Artist management company T-Time has announced the launch of their new Dublin office and will now add rising folk band Madra Salach to the roster.

The Dublin-based band will be joining other artists like Bold Love, Cork-based band Cliffords, and Etta Marcus.

The company was founded in London by former Q Prime manager Tara Richardson. It will now be co-run by Erin Barker, who was a booker for well-known Dublin Venue The Workman's Club.

Barker has worked closely with Madra Salach this year, booking many shows for them across Dublin.

The band have played a long list of gigs, including their festival debut at Beyond The Pale and their trad residency at The Fourth Corner on Patrick Street, Dublin.

“I’ve had the chance to watch some incredible talent emerge from the Irish music scene, and now I’m excited to be more hands-on in helping new acts develop and find their footing," Erin told Music Week.

In 2024, Richardson left the management company Q Prime after 17 years to begin her own venture with T-Time.

"I've been involved in the Irish music scene for almost 10 years now, and don't see any reason why bands have to leave Ireland to become successful," Richardson also told Music Week.

"Opening a Dublin office is something I've wanted to do for many years."
