IMRO Chats is a monthly podcast series exploring the topics, challenges and opportunities shaping Ireland’s music industry, hosted by Anne Marie Kelly.

Our next episode, Music Tourism, looks at the role music plays in shaping how people experience Ireland, from impromptu pub sessions and grassroots venues to festivals, cultural spaces and the hospitality sector.

Featuring insights from Other Voices founder Philip King, Tomás Mulligan of The Cobblestone and Irish Independent Travel Editor Pól Ó Conghaile, the discussion explores authenticity, community and the value of live music, while reflecting on how Ireland can celebrate its musical heritage without losing the magic that makes it so special.
