Ahoy Mermaid friends and supporters! We are relaunching our friends programme as the new and improved Mermaid Membership club. Mermaid needs your help and support now more than ever so we’ve come up with a plan that offers you more. We will still have lots of the perks and benefits which our friends enjoyed previously but we’ve added some special extras to help you get the most from your arts centre.

We have been incredibly lucky with the support and loyalty of our patrons over the last ten years, now we need your help to ensure we can continue to host the best of local, national and international artists on your doorstep.

The Mermaid team are delighted that Mermaid has again been nominated in the Leinster live music venue catagory.

The awards acknowledge the central role that live music venues play in developing and supporting the music community in Ireland.  Live music venues provide superb, quality entertainment to the public and a platform for Irish artists across all genres of music.  Over 8,000 members of IMRO have been busy nominating their favourite Irish venues and festivals. The top 5 venues with the most nominations in each region have been short-listed for an IMRO Live Music Venue of The Year Award. Venues were assessed by Ireland's songwriters, composers and publishers on a number of criteria including general ambience, staging, sound, lighting, diversity of music, artist relations and venue promotion. 

 

The Overall IMRO National Live Music Venue of the Year Award will be determined by adding the results of the IMRO member poll together with an open public poll which is currently taking place at www.surveymonkey.com/s/venueawards.
