As the producers (BBC TV) say:
'Imeall Geal is an alternative late night entertainment programme
aimed at 15-25year olds. We record each Sunday in the Sean Hollywood Arts centre
in Newry and are currently looking for a young audience (14- 25yrs) who would like to be part of the show. Being a part of our audience would be a
great opportunity for those interested in drama, music and media to experience
firsthand the workings of a TV studio on their door step. We particularly
require an audience for this upcoming Sunday , our audience would be needed from
1pm -5.30pm and free refreshments will be provided.
IMEALL GEAL: New
Alternative Entertainment TV Show
10pm Thursday
Nights on BBC2 NI from 13th of January until the 20th
March.
Irreverent, relevant and passionate; Imeall Geal (Bright Edge ) is brand new
in alternative late-night chat and entertainment! It will be fronted by three
of Ulster’s brightest new
presenting stars, Tomaí Ó Conghaile, (BBC Radio Ulster's
Blas), Grainne McElwain (Budding TG4 talent) and Eoghan Mac Diarmada (Star of Seacht and
Pop4). They will steer an energetic and lively mix of interviewees, music and
audience chat with sharp humour and insight. The show promises to be frank, funny, and unpredictable. Current TV that takes
charge!
The lively chat in Imeall
Geal will be complemented with big Music acts playing live to a local intimate
audience. Acts featuring on the show include Director (Pop simplicity at its
best fused with rock). Foy Vance (Grey’s Anatomy theme tune ‘Home
Coming’), The Flaws (Recently nominated for two Meteor
Awards), Jinx Lennon (Dundalk Folk
Hero), Paula Flynn (Forkhill singer of
recent Ballygowan Ad fame) and The Delorentoes. Each week we will also showcase the best of Ulster’s unsigned bands, including
Newry’s own The Beat Poets, The Flaws and The Olympic Lifts.
Imeall Geal is offering a chance for young budding film
makers and pranksters to show their own one minute video blog, short film,
comedy act, mini documentary, or rant on BBC2 as part of their programme.
Free Tickets are
available for the TV audience members for each show.
