Entertainment.ie have joined forces with the festival this year to sponsor the download chart at www.hwch.net which will monitor the most popular bands of the festival offering 24-hour access for the general public to check out and rate all of the artists featured.
And as if that’s not enough there will be panels, mentor sessions and more with a host of international delegates on hand to share their wisdom and experience (thanks to the generous support of IMRO, The Arts Council, and Culture Ireland).
The Hard Working Class Heroes festival has become the Irish independent music industry's most telling barometer. It is a perfect opportunity to spot emerging acts as well as a chance to see more established artists perform in full festival spirit without having to buy a tent. HWCH is Ireland's only festival dedicated to Irish bands. Once again music industry figures from around the world will be invited to attend and get involved in the festival and to experience firsthand the breadth of talent in Ireland.
