A new song-writing competition will be launched this evening in Dublin.
The From Demo to Breakthrough competition, which aims to find budding musicians, has been funded by the Ballymun Regeneration Scheme and is being supported by musicians such as Mark Geary, Glen Hansard and Mundy.
Would-be music stars are invited to submit a demo and the competition is open to musicians of all genres.
The winner will get the chance to record a three-track EP in the Basement Studios.
