Hard Working Class Heroes release music and venue line-up

HWCH made the annual call for bands to apply in June and had a huge response. Close to 500 bands applied via First Music Contact’s platform Breaking Tunes and 50 bands were chosen independently by Irish and international music industry professionals.
