Nenagh act wants your vote for Electric Picnic
RTE 2FM is once again teaming up with the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation for Play The Picnic. The competition sees 10 of Ireland’s best up-and-coming music acts win a coveted live set at Electric Picnic late next month. The act from the final 10 with the highest number of votes from members of the public will also play the larger Cosby Stage and win music masterclasses, a studio session and airtime on 2fm.
With the 29 finalists just announced, each of the acts are calling on the public to text their vote to guarantee they make it into the top 10 and get that gig at the Play the Picnic tent. Kubb_ the recording project of Nenagh-based producer Kevin Gubbins is amongst the finalists and is appealing to his fellow county people to get behind him and vote on www.2fm.ie. The Text to Vote Competition is open until Friday, July 27th.
Proceeds from the text campaign will fund Jack & Jill home nursing care and respite for sick children in every county in Ireland. Jack & Jill currently supports 8 precious children in Co Tipperary and has cared for 54 children in the county over the past 21 years.
Play The Picnic is the ultimate music platform for unsigned bands/DJs and solo acts. As well as voting for their favourite band, texters have the chance of winning tickets to Electric Picnic by texting the word PICNIC followed by the number assigned to their chosen act. The text costs €2 and Jack & Jill will receive a minimum of €1.80 depending on the service provider.
