'Glas Vegas' on TG4: apply NOW to audition

Thanks to Mick Daly, organiser of the annual Guinness International Bluegrass Festival at Dunmore East, Co. Waterford, who forwards a message from Fiona Ni Cheirin of Adare Productions (tel. 01-2843877; e-mail), asking for contacts from anyone who might be interested in auditioning for the fourth series of 'Glas Vegas', the TG4 talent competition. Fiona adds:

Auditions will be commencing end of November/ early December, so people would need to register with us NOW.

The new series will be presented by Cillian O Donnachadha, with three judges – Ciara Newell, Paraic Breathnach, and Evelyn O’Rourke. The promo sheet reads as though half the entertainment is expected to come from fights among the judges; but if your bluegrass band can ride unruffled through this kind of thing and you want to take part in the new series, go to the TG4 website.

Click on ‘Glas Vegas’ to fill in an application form; you will be contacted to arrange a time and place for an audition. Or you can call the competition line on 1512 71 72 17, leave your name and number, and TG4 will be in touch. Glas Vegas 4 will be on TG4 in early 2010.
