JD Set Dublin heat winner announced

The band were up against tough competition, with a bill that also featured the diverse talents of Jezzebelle, Robotnik, Revolution Of Dogs, My Wooly Hat and Superjiminez.

Casting an expert ear over the acts were Adam Murphy from Jack Daniel’s, Phantom 105.2’s Michelle Doherty and Hot Press' Roisin Dwyer who says: “It’s great to see a band that can rock out in style but also appreciate the craft of good songwriting. I didn’t want their performance to end!”

Currently working on their debut Grenade album, The Chapman Society go through to April’s JD Set Grand Final, which is again in Crawdaddy.

They’ll be joined by the winners of the heats in Cyprus Avenue, Cork (February 26 & 27); Kazbar, Waterford (March 5 & 6); Trinity Rooms, Limerick (19 & 20); and The Quay, Galway (26 & 27).
