| PLAYIRISH
launches today on
KLCR LUNCH with JOHN KEANE
WEEKDAYS 12 - 3PM
introducing...
Jack O'Rourke's new single 'Myth'
Jack will be live in the studio at 2pm
John Keane, host of LUNCH on KCLR 96FM is a big music fan, and an even bigger Irish music fan. Regularly introducing new Irish music to his daytime audience, John and KCLR decided to join the PLAYIRISH community to help us highlight amazing Irish artists to their listeners.
What is PLAYIRISH?
A group of radio and music folk highlighting new Irish releases to the Irish people with regular daytime radio airplay. A chosen artist gets five daytime plays in the same week, which is essentially them getting added to a playlist! Started by IASCA, Galway Bay FM were the first station on board, joined swiftly by the South East's Beat102-103, then Ocean FM, Dublin City FM and now Kilkenny’s KCLR Lunch!
It's important for listeners to hear a song multiple times to decide if they like it (or not!), and elevating Irish music at home allows artist's to break through the noisy world of music/news/social media etc. and get their music heard and grow their audience. Radio DJ's have always been a filter for great music, nothing has changed, in fact they are needed now more than ever!!
ABOUT KCLR96FM
KCLR broadcasts to Carlow and Kilkenny since 2004 and has always been a strong supporter of Irish music on the station. We play many new artists plus all of the well known Irish artists from the last few decades. The station encourages live Irish music as often as possible with many primetime shows making plenty of room for these interviews and live performances. Over the years KCLR has held exclusive live gigs with the 4 of Us and The Stunning with many more planned for the future. Being part of PLAYIRISH will give the station another outlet to promote, play and back all Irish music.
IASCA
The Irish Association of Songwriter Composers and Authors (IASCA), is a non-profit membership association set up to strengthen the existing community, and help music writers of all genres connect and support each other.
We listen to the concerns of our members, endeavor to find solutions, and provide one voice with which to lobby on their behalf.

Dublin, Ireland, Wednesday 5th August – YANGAROO Inc., the industry's leading secure digital media management company, today announced a multi-year agreement withIreland’s music writers association, IASCA to provide secure delivery of music from record labels and independent music artists to broadcasters, music reviewers and other destinations in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Yangaroo’s Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) has been successfully delivering music securely and electronically to radio broadcasters and other destinations in North America and other territories for over a decade.
YANGAROO’s Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) is a proven solution and has been successfully delivering music securely and electronically for major and independent record labels and other content owners to radio broadcasters and other destinations in North America and other territories for over a decade.
The DMDS service will be officially launched in Q4 of 2015 in Ireland, and the introduction of this world class technology solves a number of issues for artists, labels, as well as broadcasters and other media outlets. For the former, it delivers the highest quality, watermarked, broadcast ready files, instantly, securely, inexpensively, and directly to the decision makers, in a format in which they prefer to receive it. For media, DMDS is for exclusive use to pre-approved recipients, and these releases are easily accessible in one library via computer or mobile device.
“The Canadian Music Industry led the world in the move to digital delivery of music to broadcasters beginning in 2003 virtually all music that is heard on radio in Canada is delivered via DMDS.” Said Cliff Hunt YANGAROO Vice Chairman and COO. “We have, of course expanded into the U.S. and other territories since then, and are excited to have Ireland and IASCA leading the way in Europe.”
Sinead Troy, General Manager of IASCA and DMDS Ireland says “It’s an exciting time for us, there is no doubt this is a Irish music industry solution, to an Irish music industry problem. For example, Irish radio stations receive independent music haphazardly and if we want them to consider playing more, then we simply have to make it easier for them to access and listen to! Irish radio have been hugely supportive of the plan for DMDS, and are ready to begin testing the platform next month”.
