NME to launch Irish NME called NME Ireland
NME, the most iconic music weekly in the world, today announces its expansion into the Republic of Ireland, with the launch of a dedicated Irish edition of the magazine, alongside the launch of Club NME Dublin, a regular showcase for new Irish music.
Full story. A Blogorrah commenter says
NME is shite. So is HotPress. It’s all a load of cock.
Club NME:
Meanwhile Club NME – well established in venues in venues across the UK as the live club night to break the hottest new music – opens its doors to Dublin’s live music fans for the first time at Voodoo Lounge on Thursday, 19 October. The venue will play host to the launch night party, after which Club NME Dublin will take up regular residency at The Hub, on Eustace Street. Dublin marks the second international city to host regular Club NME nights following the launch of Club NME LA at Spaceland, California last month.

Is it just me, or is this utterly pointless? Rather than create an Irish edition, why not just give the Irish music scene better coverage? I know some NME readers who are not going to be even slightly happy with this yoke.

They should bring out a tarted-up fortnightly devoted to Saturday night ceili dancing instead. Call it De Valera’s Black Stockings, or something.
