A practical guide for artists, managers and music professionals looking to understand the Irish music landscape. Written by Jim Carroll for EMEE’s music market studies, it brings together an overview of the market and the main routes into it.
The report covers the live, recorded and publishing sectors, alongside music consumption, media and PR, industry organisations and practical market-entry information. It also includes sections on festivals, venues, promoters, organising a tour or gig, funding, visa and mobility information, and copyright.
For AIM members, this is a useful reference for market research, international planning and partner conversations. It can help members who are exploring touring opportunities, release planning or a broader understanding of how the Irish music ecosystem operates.
