Band get chance to rock the Hard Rock

The Hard Rock Café will choose one yet-to-be-established band to play at the launch party in front of invited guests from the media and music industries.

Liz Kelly of The Hard Rock Café said: "Since we opened, not a day has gone by that we have not received a demo tape or been asked about playing in our venue. So why not offer a chance to a band to play on our big night?

"Who knows? In a couple of years we could have some of their memorabilia on our walls!"

Bands interested in performing should send a demo tape to Presence PR, 46 Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin 2 by close of business on Monday October 18.
