Hailing from Germany myself and having resided on this gorgeous Island for close to 17 years there have been a few surprises I have learned along the way. Yes, the Irish are full of “the craic” and the country is covered in greenery and sheep, surrounded by oceans but one admittedly known fact that struck me the most is how much the Irish love their music, GOOD music.
Not everyone will make the cut and whatever venue you visit for a gig you will be assured talent rather than just some band hoping to “strut their stuff”.
The Irish folk are all about “raw talent” – a band or musician that doesn’t just stand in front of a mic to mime to a backing track but knows how to work multiple instruments and harbour a clever grasp of lyrical genius. The music fan I have always been appreciated the realness this country celebrates and I cannot but *bow* to the appreciation that the Irish hold in high regard for the acts they celebrate. So much so that I would like to call myself an Irish when it comes to the music I listen to and enjoy watching live.

Luck has it I got myself a job in one of Ireland’s most credible music agencies and therefore have been enjoying the pleasure of being introduced to the BEST in Irish music such as the legendary Aslan, as well as The 4 Of Us and gorgeous musical story tellers like Declan O’Rouke, Paddy Casey and Brian Kennedy – not to forget the electrifying Ryan Sheridan, thought-provoking Rubberbandits, Indie rockstars The Coronas & Keywest, but also the international artists that hone their craft and take music seriously instead of just “performing to become famous”.

There are an abundance of great festivals taking place in Ireland throughout our four seasons, with each event getting bigger & BETTER with every year passing.
Whether you are looking to entertain your crowd from the beloved village park folk gatherings to the epic spectacles, attracting visitors in the thousands from all over – it is undeniably of utmost importance to present your punters with an appealing and foremost STRONG line up of first-rate musicians.
AMA Music Agency has supplied a variety of festivals in Ireland and abroad with artists harbouring that particular ‘je ne sais quoi’ every organiser is on the hunt for to trump the last musical presentation.

You may be under the impression that a solo act will not be able to entertain a horde of demanding festival goers and perhaps would drown in the crowd of screams. You are wrong! Our Singers For Festivals are pros at what they do and have played for the largest convocations worldwide, therefore they know exactly how to please, charm, fascinate but most importantly engage with a crowd.

In the mood for a lot of loveliness, the intriguing and inspiring? The incredible Gilbert O’Sullivan, The 4 Of Us, Declan O’Rourke, Paddy Casey, Mark Hogan or Brian Kennedy would be the perfect addition to your festival billing, yet if you fancy something more upbeat, something that gets everyone’s ‘dance on’ Ryan Sheridan, Peter M. Smith, Garrett Wall, Keywest or Rocstrong are the performers for you!

Book a music wizard on the decks who is destined to turn your festival into a thumping success.

Life behind the decks, on a massive stage, has become a welcomed norm for our experienced DJs who have worked years to hone their skill behind the mixer, playing at the most exclusive parties, for the most exciting crowds in stadiums and small offices alike, worldwide. Proof that our professional Disc Jockeys can transform any occasion into a thumping party – especially a good festival. Once darkness has set in a luminous light show from our Robot DJs accompanied by the mesmerising Digital Poi Dancers, or our globe trotting Daft Punk Tribute Duo is just what your festival goers’ music-loving-heart desires.

Phats & Small’s genre defying style conjures a world fuelled with creative sounds, one so fresh your punters will be busting some star-struck moves.
The combination of Live music accompanying a DJ set has become one of Ireland’s favourite festival & event additions over the past year and truly brings something very unique as well as stylish to every kind of celebration. May it be a family event, a hipster fest or a dance spectacle, the Drummer / Saxophone & DJ Duo are in a league of their own when it comes to entertaining an eclectic crowd.

Always determined to keep one step ahead we are delighted to be able to offer the excellent Silent Headphone Disco, with availability reaching up to an impressive 500 headphones (one of the largest on our Emerald Isle).

There are plenty new festivals emerging every year which join the beautiful backdrop to the already famous and long running music festivals of Ireland, with Irish music legends such as Aslan, The 4 Of Us, Gilbert O’Sullivan, Ryan Sheridan, Paddy Casey, Declan O’Rourke, Hurricane Highway & Keywest taking to the stage, as well as the best in the world of DJs and newcomers Red Empire, The Valves, Morrissey & Marshall, Rocstrong and Peter M. Smith kicking off the fun on the day!

Before even attending your upcoming festival, you will have to impress your punters with your announced line up so that tickets will fly off the shelves, leading to a large crowd on the day(s)

The Irish music industry is currently experiencing a kick-ass wake with great new talent emerging from the emerald shores offering us different beats, exciting sounds and varied styles.
Our Island’s musical creations as of late truly are one of the most thrilling the music industry has ever experienced, putting our musicians on the map world wide.
Luckily we always will have first pick of our homegrown heroes and you are able to offer your festival-goers something very fresh, something brand new, something incredibly current for this year’s jamboree.

Nothing better exemplifies the new & exciting than our riveting Irish Hip Hop groups Rocstrong, Craic Appeal & Loud Motive as well as the strikingly beautiful Digital Fire Dancers.

The crown jewel among Irish music is of course none other than legendary rock group Aslan and festival favourites such as Paddy Casey, Declan O’Rourke, Ryan Sheridan & Keywest who all know how to turn a party wild and sweaty.

Make sure to spice it up a little by adding some Feile Festival Favourites to keep an age group of a large spectrum happy and satisfied. No better band to provide the good and known than The 4 Of Us and Something Happens to sing for your crowd the old favourites and also some of their new, with newbies Morrissey & Marshall and Peter M. Smith adding the flavour of alternative and mint..

Ending it with the hottest DJ Duos available ‘Daft Punk Tribute’ will ensure variety and best of all a very cool light show of fantastic tunes. Your festival will be bopping until the very early hours and every single visitor will leave with a massive, satisfied grin proclaiming your event to having been the best festival they have ever attended.

Ireland hosts an abundance of stationary music festivals but is also proudly giving the newcomers a shot, big and small, all across the country as long as reflective of live music’s explosion of growth. People’s desire to experience music up close and personal has not lessened over the years during the rapid boom of the digital, yet their attention span may have shortened a tad which makes the line up and billing for your festival more important than ever.

So the key to your successful summer festival is variety and keeping one step ahead of the times!
