Roisin Dwyer from Hotpress also joined Mire to talk about how the magazine is aiming to unearth the hottest new emerging Irish talent giving one band or solo artist the chance to follow in the footsteps of the giants of rock ’n’ roll by appearing on the cover of Hot Press. The act will get their chance to appear on a Hot Press flip-cover and also be invited to play at a special gig to launch their first ever cover! It all started in 1977 when a Fender-wielding Rory Gallagher graced the very first issue of Hot Press. Appearing on the Hot Press cover has become a rock ’n’ roll milestone for hundreds of Irish acts including U2, The Cranberries, The Script, Kodaline, Villagers and James Vincent McMorrow. To enter, go to www.hotpress.com/thebigbreak and submit an mp3, along with a pic and few sentences as to why they should be on the Hot Press flip cover.
