IMRO Chats is a monthly podcast series exploring the topics, challenges and opportunities shaping Ireland’s music industry.
Following the IMRO Live Music Awards this month, our next episode, Music Venues, concentrates on small and medium-sized venues, exploring how these spaces support artists, foster audiences and sustain live performance across Ireland.
Featuring insights from venue operators and artists including Robbie Campion and Davey Furey of Bob’s Hideout in Bob’s Bar, Durrow, Co. Laois, Stephen Butler from The Set Theatre in Langton’s Hotel, Kilkenny, and musician and performer Ollie Cole, the discussion highlights the atmosphere, challenges and opportunities these venues create. This episode also captures the build-up to an exciting performance from Damien Dempsey, during rehearsals at The Set Theatre.
