Six journalists from Germany and Austria have been exploring Ireland’s vibrant music scene as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.
The group represents the German national radio station Deutschlandfunk and various print and online media, reaching an audience of around 2.5 million people.
Their itinerary features visits to Sean’s Bar in Athlone and music workshops with Burren Fiddle Holidays and in Galway.
Experiences include guided walks in Burren National Park and attending live music sessions in pubs such as Knox’s Pub, Doolin Music House, and Gus O’Connor’s Pub.
Nadine Lehmann, Tourism Ireland’s Manager Germany, said: “we were delighted to invite this group of influential German and Austrian journalists to explore Ireland. There really is no substitute for being able to come here and experience what Ireland has to offer at first-hand. Through the articles and content they produce and share, the journalists will inspire their audiences to come and discover our rich musical heritage for themselves.”
