It's the biggest music show ever staged in this country. Fans of rock, pop and folk are in for a real treat with a bewildering array of live music, seminars, workshops, exhibitions and discussions at The Music Show, which takes place in the RDS, Dublin, next weekend, October 3 and 4. The Rory Gallagher Exhibition has now been added to the extensive line-up.

 

The Music Show includes bands such as The Blizzards, Imelda May and The Coronas playing live, plus a series of interviews with, among others, Christy Moore, Johnny Fean of Horslips and Keith Duffy, as well as panel discussions and music-themed exhibitions. The Music Show is presented by Hot Press in association with the Sunday Independent, the Irish Independent and RTE's 2fm.

 

A series of panel discussions will include luminaries such as Nicky Ryan, who helped invent the Enya phenomenon; James Morris, founder of the famous Windmill Lane recording studios where U2 made their early recordings; rock accountant Ossie Kilkenny; film director Jim Sheridan, and many more.

Excerpt of the article:

 

There was a rush to get to the panel on production, featuring the James Bond composer and Shirley Bassey producer David Arnold, local whizz kid Gareth Mannix and the hugely successful Nicky Ryan. There were insights aplenty from all three, with Nicky explaining in detail the fantastic intricacies of multi-tracking Enya’s vocals and explaining the limitations of using click tracks as well as talking about his approach to recording traditional music. Arnold, meanwhile, recalled working on Damien Rice’s O, offered insights into his approach to creating James Bond soundtracks and talked about just how rock’n’roll Shirley Bassey’s approach turned out to be!
