A total of six lucky bands have been selected for the Belfast regional showcase of the Guinness sponsored ‘Our Thursdays’ competition. The bands, all selected from across Ireland will be playing as part of this year’s 'Arthur’s Day' event, with Our Thursdays taking a look at emerging talent all over Ireland and giving them a chance to be part of the Arthur’s Day line up on September 23rd. Since July, hopeful bands have been performing in pubs every week all around the country at the Guinness sponsored pub showcases where the public decided, via text vote, who would go through each week. The bands that received the most votes at the end of each pub showcase have been named as the official Arthur’s Day artist in that bar on 23rd September. What's more, a team of music industry experts including members of Snow Patrol, have had the unenviable task of listening to all the pub showcase winners from around the country and have now whittled it down to the best 24, 6 of who will play at the Belfast regional showcase in The Empire, Belfast on 26th August. The Belfast Regional Showcase is taking place in The Empire, Belfast, this Thursday, 26th August. The 6 Bands are; Bettylee &The Blonde from Limavady, Naoimh O'Hagan (pictured) from Belfast, Picture the Sound from Ballymoney, Cavan's Shouting at Planes, Escape Fails from Belfast, and The Empire Saints from Bray. The event is open to the public and entry is free of charge. From the regional showcases, four lucky bands will be selected to perform at the national showcase, which will take place in Lavery's in Belfast on 9th September. A team of music industry experts will deliberate and decide on the three bands that will play in Galway, Cork and at St James’s Gate Brewery on Arthur’s Day alongside amazing international artists including Snow Patrol. The bands will also receive studio recording time, a digital release and will find themselves on the cover of Hot Press magazine in a special Our Thursdays feature.
