Glasgowbury Picnic At CultureTECH Festival, Derry 

Last month, Glasgowbury had it’s first live event since the festival at CultureTECH Festival, Derry. The concept was a scaled-down version of the festival at the city’s Guildhall Square, and we went for it!

Festival acts The Greased Palm, Silhouette, Shay Whaylan, Ed Zealous, The Clameens, and The Woodburning Savages all played on the main stage to a packed square with as much fervour as they had up the mountain. In addition, BM Promotions were in attendance doing kids activities and the Samba band kept the festival feeling alive.

Check out the gallery for some great shots of the day.

Resonate Project Collaboration In Christie Hennessy Song Competition Final

A song collaboration between Glasgowbury staple Paddy Nash and Rural Key participant Gemma Bradley has made it to the final of the Christie Hennessy Song Competition. The song was written as part of Resonate, a collaborative music project in which two acts came together to write and record a song within a 12 hour window at Blast Furnace Studios, Derry. The project also saw festival acts The Greased Palm partner with Orchid Collective and Axis Of with More Than Conquerors respectively.

The final takes place on October 19th in Tralee, Co. Kerry. We wish the pair every success at the awards.
