‘As the event is solely for original content, it’s a great opportunity for acts to showcase their own lyrical and musical talent,’ said Shelly, youth worker with Lava Javas Youth Café.
‘We’d love to hear from young people who have an interest in music who would like an opportunity to perform on stage and possibly progress to an All-Ireland event!’ said Shelly.
Limerick has a great youth music scene and has enjoyed great success at previous IYMAs with Laura Duff, Detention the Band and PowPig, just some of the local acts who have competed on the national stage.
The IYMAs is a youth music educational programme that supports, developing musicians that provides hands-on music-based education, personal development and key links to the music industries.
