IrishUnsigned

IrishUnsigned is not affiliated to any industry organisation. We are totally independent and can therefore provide an objective viewpoint. We can also help to develop an Act's or Artist's presence in the market using all available techniques (including some we develop ourselves) and contacts. We don't, however, claim to be experts. There are enough people in the Industry and it's fringes who claim to be expert. It can often be a very expensive task for bands to find out differently - the hard way. Because IrishUnsigned is not set up as a business nor as a money-making entity, we don't have to worry about whether or not a band or act will want to 'work' with us. In the end, we won't make or lose any money either way! On the subject of our name, as it seems to generate more debate and argument than any of the projects we become involved in: IrishUnsigned only works with bands and artists who can create original music (not covers-only bands), and who have at least one member who is Irish (including Northern Irish) and who are not currently signed to any major record label (or their subsidiaries). This last requirement is by way of avoiding legal problems and also of stretching our limited time and resources to those who don't have indistry backing. Like Art, in our estimation, there is no such thing as bad music. there is music we might not like; there is music we might think is unlikely to be commercially successful; there is music we might actively avoid for many reasons. However, since this music exists, and is created, it's creators have our utmost respect. That is why the IrishUnsigned compilation CD "Scene Unheard" consists of various different types of music, artist, performance - as future compilations will. Finally, in case you are interested, Irish Unsigned is not financed in any way. What you see on the site is only the face of IU. There is a lot going on behind the scenes. If you, or any organisation you have a connection with, are interested in the continued development of Irish Music and would like to contribute towards financing our expenses in any way, big or small, then please email us to discuss partenerships for gigs, releases etc or to offer any other support you can. We'd also be happy to talk to organisations about the possibility of sponsored-releases of the "Scene Unheard" series of compilations so we can get it - and therefore the bands represented - more effective and widespread exposure. IrishUnsigned - real music, with an Irish accent.
