“The track record of successes from the Music From Ireland program at SXSW has been substantial in recent years and has been an important first step into the U.S. market for Irish acts for over 18 years. Both Culture Ireland and First Music Contact are committed to expanding on this with the current crop of emerging Irish talent” – Angela Dorgan, FMC
