Fáilte Ireland’s Major Tourism Initiative
The Gathering will involve a year-long programme of events, festivals and initiatives designed to bring record numbers of visitors to Ireland.
Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Leo Varadkar announced plans for The Gathering and extended an open invitation to prospective visitors around the world.
It is imagined that the eventual programme will comprise of three distinct strands:
A flagship festivals programme featuring unique headline festivals;
A special interest events programme featuring smaller, intimate special interest, business or sporting events and festivals;
A community-led (fringe) events programme comprising events and happenings devised and organised by community groups at national and local level. Ideally the larger of these would take place in conjunction with the flagship programmes.

GotSeeN.com
New music promotion website GotSeeN.com has joined forces with the iNTERTAIN Group and Walkabout Bars to create a new way for unsigned bands to promote themselves.
Gotseen.com launched their Live Streaming service in May 2011, and have been broadcasting live gigs and events straight onto their own website or their clients websites ever since.
Co-founder of GotSeeN.com, Jason Bedington said: When the idea for GotSeeN.com was initially discussed, we wanted to provide a platform for unsigned bands to use that was radically different from the current social networks we are all familiar with. So we set about creating GotSeen.com, a platform that a band can log onto from anywhere in the world and using a laptop and video camera, play a live gig to a global audience.
This new service has seen bands playing gigs live throughoutEuropeandAmericawhilst simultaneously streaming their performance live to new fans around the world.
From October 20th GotSeeN.com will be booking, promoting and broadcasting live shows every Thursday night from the Walkabout bar inTemple, on Londons Embankment. The Walkabout venue has always showcased original music and unsigned artists, but this deal will see the bands reach a larger audience.
The deal strengthens Walkabouts commitment to live music and showcasing fresh talent. If successful, the partnership will see the scheduling of more broadcast events throughout 2012 as the programme is rolled out across other Walkabout venues.
Walkabout UK Brand Manager, Gareth Bull said: Working in partnership with GotSeeN.com will allow Walkabout to book exciting unsigned bands and artists and help nurture them into fully fledged recording artists. This exciting initiative will see our brand exposed in new and exciting areas and allow acts to reach new fans both on a local level and globally, as the shows are live streamed across the world.
Extending this service through partnerships with larger brands like Walkabout was the logical next step in the growth of GotSeeN.com.
Bedington said: Our aim is to partner with large brands to bring together the massive audience that follow unsigned artists with the products and services that larger brands can offer. This alliance offers our partners long term brand awareness as unsigned artists harness the community of influencers within their social networks and help to grow a brands reputation through peer to peer marketing.
For further information on booking bands to play at Walkabout venues, or how GotSeeN work with brands by creating events to broadcast, please contact office@gotseen.com For further information on Walkabout, please contact the Walkabout press office on 020 7079 9222.

Arts & Disability Ireland Launch Strategic Plan
Arts & DisabilityIreland(ADI) has launched its inaugural strategy and policy document, Becoming a National Resource:ADI’s Policy and Strategic Direction 2011–2016. The document is the first of its kind inIrelandand sets out ADI’s aim to create lasting change in the way people with disabilities are involved with, and engage in, artistic and cultural life.
The Strategic Plan was launched by Senator Catherine Noone, Seanad Spokesperson for Arts and Heritage.
To celebrate the launch, Blue Teapot Theatre Company performed a reading of 84 by Len Collin, a screen play written for and with a cast of actors with intellectual disabilities, along with a screening of Soundscape’s Johnny Dreams an animation devised in collaboration with visual artist Aideen Barry.
Becoming a National Resource marks a new phase of maturity in the organisation’s history and a shift in direction. The emphasis will change from localised delivery to asserting a clear national role, seeking to maximise impact through strategic partnerships and action learning.
Over 8 percent of Irish people have a disability and ADI aims to create the conditions for people with disabilities and the wider disability community to connect with mainstream arts. ADI’s challenge is to work towards removing barriers and improving access, despite recessionary funding cuts, to ensure that people with disabilities can fully experience and contribute to Irish artistic and cultural life and be an integral part of it.

Culturefox
Culturefox is a Irish cultural events website and app which functions globally on PCs and all mobile phone platforms. It is extremely user friendly and is aimed to appeal to individuals and families, across all age groups. Culturefox has been designed to recognise that trends show that tourists are increasingly travelling with a 'cultural experience' in mind, that they are taking more frequent, shorter breaks and that they want instant information on the move which they can view at with ease. They also want to be able to go to a single reliable and authoritative source and that is our ambition for Culturefox.
In practical terms, Culturefox now replaces the What’s on Guide, which the Arts Council has managed to date. What this means for your organisation is that we now require you upload details of your events and activities onto the Culturefox site, for which a guideline manual is attached. The success of this site is dependent upon your co-operation; upon the systematic uploading of all your events so that we can make sure the guide is comprehensive.
A user handbook with details of how to do this is attached. In order to ensure consistency and that the site becomes the most comprehensive available, I would ask you to bring it to the attention of the person who is responsible for marketing and promoting the activities of your organisation, so that they can now use it as a resource in this regard. You might find it useful to log onto the prelaunch address http://prelaunch.culturefox.ie/ and the mobile site is: http://prelaunch.culturefox.ie/mobile/ for an initial review of the website. The official launch date is 1 June, details of which will follow.
