Reflecting the kind of inclusive, genuinely catholic view of music that Hot Press has always championed, one of the key elements of this Great Record is that everyone from Christy Moore to Rory Gallagher to sean n s singers from Inis M r will be welcomed with equal enthusiasm. So whether you live in Chicago or Caherciveen, Hackney or Hackballscross, there's a welcome on the cybermat for you. Simply wipe your feet and come on in, because the kettle's always on the boil. Although Local Ireland is only finding its feet, and The Great Record Of Irish Music is barely ready to embark on its journey, the team has already explored who might be most likely to turn on and tune in. This is more the record of the music, the overall chronicle of Irish music.
Timeless information is what The Great Record Of Irish Music is after.
The Great Record Of Irish Music is intent on riding on the crest of the telecommunications wave that has every Irish school already on the net. We'll also have 6 regional development officers who'll be involved in collecting the stories, the tales, from people. So anyone out there with a tale from the high or low lands is welcome to send them in to us so that they can become part of The Great Record Of Irish Music. Hot Press and Local Ireland have even greater plans for the record. It would be a big encyclopedia, that would be a companion to other books like the Great Book Of Irish Literature and so on.
