Background

The Rock School BCFE showcase gigs started in 1989 and since then have been held in venues throughout Dublin including Whelans, The Village and now The Grand Social. The idea is to showcase original Irish songwriters.

The Rock School

The Rock School at BCFE is the original and most successful Rock School in Ireland and one of the first of it’s kind in Europe.  It’s aim is to prepare musicians for the professional music industry as writers, performers, instrumentalists, arrangers and producers. Ciara added:

“Between the students and the lecturers there’s something special about the Rock School that can’t be found in other colleges. There really is room to network within the college with other music and technology related courses. To be creative. Above all there’s freedom to make use of the first-class professional facilities.”
