Garageland announce new radio show to coincide with winter series of The Garage Gigs

With acts such as The Script and Kodaline having started life on The Garage Gigs, this long-running platform for up-and-coming music has been a part of the independent music scene in Ireland for 16 years. Now, a special show on 2XM, the digital branch of RTE, will see bands and artists from that 16 year history come together to perform. The show will be a mix of bands who have never had any radio exposure, and Garageland luminaries such as The Script, Delorentos and Ham Sandwich.

Dermot Lambert will play host and will have guests in to co-host each show. He has also promised to spill the beans on some of the adventures that happened during his time with legendary indie band Blink (fights in dressing rooms with Oasis, making friends with Blink 182, smashing guitars onstage with Moby – that kind of thing).

Bands and artists wishing to be included in the live shows, or indeed the radio show, are invited to set up their own profile on the brand new Garageland website, where they can also book their own shows online in yet another unique initiative from Garageland.
