Lately I've had the opportunity to do something that I haven't done since I attended Taylor University in the mid 90's. It still remains one of the most life-giving experiences I have ever had. I was able to work with creative types, have a good balance of administration and people time, work with a committed team, and if you haven't guessed yet . . it's concert promotion. My work with the Church of Ireland Youth Department has afforded me the opportunity to start booking bands again for our annual youth weekend in the Republic of Ireland. It's been great! I have re-educated myself (more fully) about who's who amoungst the Christians in the music scene and then the networking began. I think I have a mild addiction to 'networking'! ;-) I have managed to narrow it down to five groups that may fit our budget and may have an opening in their touring to come to the Dublin area for a weekend. They are GRITS, House of Heroes (from my hometown), LAST TUESDAY, Dynamic Twins and Anberlin. I'm loving it! What a thrill. It's one of those time that I feel as if I was made to do this. Well, not only this, but I get a sense that whatever 'this' is it may be part of it. Anyway, I'd like to know if any of you have heard of the bands and which you'd recommend for an all-Republic of Ireland youth event that caters to 13-17 year olds. We need someone who will engage with the crowd and not take themselves too seriously. A band that will get everyone involved . . So, start your voting!
