We are delighted to announce details of an A Litany Of Failures weekender set to take place over March 30th & 31st. The two day event will act as a fundraiser for Volume V of the compilation series, which has been described as “indispensable listening for any Irish music fan with a modicum of taste” (Irish Times).

Saturday night’s concert will be preceded by a panel discussion on production, hosted by Zara Hedderman (Totally Dublin/RTÉ Arena), and featuring three of Ireland’s finest producers, John ‘Spud’ Murphy (Lankum/Black MIDI), Chris W Ryan (Just Mustard/Robocobra Quartet) and Jamie Hyland(Gilla Band/Mhaol), plus DJs.

Musical performances will come from previous Litany alumni across the Button Factory Main Room and Crowbar Terrace:

About A Litany of Failures

A Litany Of Failures began with the release of Volume 1 in 2016. This EP, released on cassette, featured Junk Drawer, Oh Boland, Shrug Life and That Snaake, and was launched with an Irish tour that summer. This release created the template that would later be expanded upon in Volume II, III & IV, which have featured a total of 60 acts. Each volume is a double vinyl compilation, and includes the likes of Robocobra Quartet, The Bonk, Silverbacks, Problem Patterns, Junior Brother, Elaine Howley, Myles Manley, Cherym, Post Punk Podge, and many more.

The project was conceived as a way that DIY and independent artists could come together, collaborate and support each other in trying to take their own snapshot of the Irish music community, to be preserved for posterity - a “rising tide lifts all boats” mentality - while creating a quality product that could be deemed “Export Ready” in the modern Music-Biz™ parlance.
