Friday, 24 September 2021 11:35

Applications to Kfm Radio's Local Hero Search are open until September 30th.

Kfm Radio is a keynote partner in a significant new initiative to promote Irish artists and bands throughout the month of October.

The Irish Music Month campaign, the biggest ever programming event undertaken by local stations, is funded under the BAI Sound & Vision scheme and supported by XL Retail group.

t will create a significant increase in radio play of Irish artists across 25 independent radio stations, including Kfm Radio.

This will result in a €100,000 payment, directly to Irish artists.

Kfm is also platforming Kildare musical talent, with the Kfm Radio Local Hero Search

Kfm Radio's Local Hero Search:

The closing date will be final week of September. After that date, a panel of judges will pick 5 finalists to go into the October final.

All 5 finalists, you will receive €700.

Then, during the month of October, which is Irish Music Month, artists songs will be played on air with on-air interviews.

At the end of the month, an overall winner will be chosen by the panel and that winner will go on to a National event, essentially representing the Kildare area.

The overall prize for the national winner is €5,000.

Entries can be submitted to: info@kfmradio.com
