Blastbeat Live
Blastbeat Live is a national gigging tour organised by bands, fans and alumni of the Blastbeat Programme. Blastbeat Live allows young people the opportunity to organise gigs in their hometown - giving them direct input into their local and social scene.
The Blastbeat Live circuit allows those who have excelled in the Blastbeat schools programme to continue on with their passion and it also gives unsigned young bands an opportunity to build fan bases and get gig experience. The alumni, fans and bands who have been with Blastbeat for several years organise the over 18s events targeting college and university students.
Blastbeat Live events run throughout the year. During the summer months various competitions and initiatives exist to cater for the ever growing new band population applying through Blastbeat.tv. Summer 2008 saw the Blastbeat / Sunday World 'LA or Busk' Competition. It involved 8 heats to take place all over Ireland, and one final where the winning act will win a trip to Los Angeles. The act that won was the Dublin based Shower Scene.

Famous quotes containing the word live:
“Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
