Calling All Singers And Musicians: Win €2,000 & The Chance To Perform In Whelan’s!

Are you a musical act or singer who has what it takes to make it big? If so, we really, really, REALLY want to hear from you. With thanks to Le Crunch Apples from France, we are asking budding musical artists around Ireland to send us a recording of your best cover song. The five finalists will perform their cover song live to a packed house at Whelan's on March 9th 2016, with the winner walking away with €2,000 and the four runners-up with €125 each! There are three ways to submit your MP3 or MP4 recording:

• Email [email protected] with your file attached or a link to your YouTube video included in the body of the email. You must also send your contact details in the email.

• Contact Her.ie or JOE.ie via Facebook message, or publicly on your Facebook page with the hashtag #LeCrunchSongs (just make sure your post is public) - in this instance you will be contacted for your contact details should you be shortlisted as a semi-finalist

• Tweet Her.ie or JOE.ie your video publicly using the hashtag #LeCrunchSongs– you will be contacted for your contact details should you be shortlisted as a semi-finalist

Ten finalists will be profiled on Her.ie and JOE.ie with a public vote for readers to choose their favourite act. The top two acts from the reader’s vote and the top three acts chosen by our adjudicators will then perform on March 9th in Whelan's. The ten semi-finalists will be required to travel to Dublin in advance of the final to be interviewed for a Her.ie and JOE.ie profile - all semi-finalists must be available for this. Judges on the night include founder of Indiependence Shane Dunne, JOE.ie editor Paddy McKenna and Ham Sandwich's lead singer Niamh Farrell.
