Enter The Night Mentorship Programme
Deadline for applications; calling all Tipperary musicians and singers aged 16–25
Calling all Tipperary musicians and singers aged 16–25!
We’re looking for Tipperary’s next generation of musicians to join the Enter The Night Mentorship Programme.
Successful applicants will come together to form the Enter The Night Supergroup, a unique opportunity to collaborate, be mentored by leading professional artists, and perform on one of Tipperary’s biggest Culture Night stages.
Over August and September, you’ll work alongside Musical Director Stephen McGrath Bass and an exciting team of experienced artist-mentors (wait until you see who we have lined up!), creating a one-of-a-kind collaborative performance for Friday 18 September 2026.
We’re looking for:
Singers
Guitarists
Bassists
Keys / Synths
Drummers
...and we’d love to hear from other instrumentalists too!
Whether you’re a solo artist or already play in a band, applications must be made individually. (Band members are welcome to apply separately.)
To apply:
Complete the application form: https://forms.gle/w8o8sMuYYciq39eA9
Include a link to a recent performance or audition video.
If you’re in a band, let us know which member you are.
Applicants must be Tipperary-based.
Key dates
• Mentorship sessions throughout August & September (dates announced soon)
• Thursday 17 September – Full-day rehearsal

This is more than a concert. It’s your opportunity to collaborate, write, be mentored, build lasting musical connections and perform as part of one of Tipperary’s flagship Culture Night events.
Applications close at midnight on Thursday 30 July.
We can’t wait to hear from you. Please share this with any musician aged 16-25 who should know about it!
