Elsewhere…
There is plenty going on elsewhere…other than the venues mentioned above. As HWCH put it, “a series of free, live, day-time gigs in shops, markets and cafes around Dublin City”.
If you’re looking to get the know the workings behind the music industry, then a trip to the Convention at the NDRC is for you. Oh and the NDRC can be found here.
Then there is the techy side of HWCH, so you’ll find a number of start-ups and the like giving you a sample of how you can boost your profile with their platforms.
