Lift Off @ The Music Show: The Final 10

We promised you the crème de la crème of Ireland's hottest emerging music talent and here it is! Hot Press is delighted to announce the 10 finalists of our Lift Off @ The Music Show competition, as chosen by your fine selves.

They are:

The top 10 acts will now be looked over by our esteemed panel of judges, whose difficult job it is to pick an overall winner. The triumphant band or artist will not only get to perform in front of an enthusiastic crowd at The Music Show this weekend, but also have an album recorded, released and marketed for them by Shamrock Solutions, who've worked recently with such major names as The Cranberries, Marilyn Manson, Andrea Corr, Sinéad O'Connor, Death In Vegas, The Crystal Fighters, Bob Geldof and Vintage Trouble. They will also receive €10,000 in tour support from Ireland's leading PA and backline suppliers Litton Lane.

And it all starts with an appearance on the Live Stage at the Music Show this weekend in the RDS, Dublin.
