Since August 2000 AD. 22 years promoting and discovering new music
Inhaler, ModernLove, The Wah, The Script, Ryan Sheridan, Kodaline, Delorentos, Villagers, Ham Sandwich, Niamh Crowther all started life on The Garage Gigs, and so can you. We look after our artists, and our artists trust us. We work with, educate and assist artists from the very early stages of development right through to the upp
er reaches of the musical journey, while also creating amazing opportunities for those same artists. We design, produce, manage and direct some of the most exciting music programmes ever seen in Ireland, and our roster is unparallelled in Irish Music History. The Garage Gigs started in August 2000 – there were only meant to be 4 shows. We have helped over 5,000 unsigned acts – about 30,000 musicians, and that’s not including the thousands of young musicians on our many projects designed for younger artists, including Garageland TV at Cruinniú na nÓg with Creative Ireland, Restricted Mic with the City of Dublin Youth Service Board, INDYCity Youth Music Festival (2018) and the Irish Youth Music Awards (The IYMAs), as designed and directed by Dermot Lambert. Garageland Galaxyz at Cruinniú na nÓg 2022 will be one of the biggest ever youth music projects ever rolled out in Ireland. See 11th June 2022. We have run The Garage Gigs in almost every mid sized venue in Ireland and expanding into the UK in 2016. Some of these acts are really famous now, and we’re obviously delighted for them, but it’s the ones who are still trying, or just starting out, that we look after, so that maybe someday they can be acknowledged for their art too.
