About Me

Todays Show - Christian Cuff - 25/10/2008 .. June 29, 2006Music broadcasting on the edge (literally) - Ireland's newest .. music broadcaster goes liveNot five minutes walk from Music Network's Dublin Castle office is perched Ireland's newest .. music broadcaster. From an eyrie high above The Oak on Dame Street Balcony TV has broadcasted daily on the internet since going live in early May 2006.Not for Balcony TV, however, the lavish D4 resources and million-euro presenters of RTÉ, or even the bright and breezy on-a-shoestring production values of the out-of-towners at TV3. Instead it has a few square metres of space on the eponymous balcony, three 'staff' members, a handheld digital video camera, some lights and a computer to produce a few minutes of new footage every day. The al fresco 'studio', a tiny futuristic balcony facing east along Dame Street, is visible by looking skywards across Dame Street from the office block rising out of the old Millennium Garden beside City Hall and can be easily identified by a troublesome Balcony TV banner adorning the back wall.Harnessing the resources of youtube.com the team uploads the videos of musicians' live performances on the balcony allowing them to be viewed by anyone with a computer who wishes to do so.The triumvirate behind this blast of fresh broadcasting air is Stephen O'Regan, Tom Millett and Pauline Freeman.Stephen O'Regan, who studied film making in New York, multi-tasks for Balcony TV. As well as shouldering a lot of the organisational and computing responsibilities he is also the one found mostly behind the camera. Tom Millet can be seen in front of the camera as a presenter but also lines up the acts that appear and reportedly strikes fear into the masses with his guerilla marketing tactics. Tom is a double bass player and the third member of the trio, Pauline Freeman, is a cellist. Pauline is also a presenter on Balcony TV and has appeared 'on screen' playing the cello with her band Alan Alda.The video archive of the acts appearing on the Balcony TV shows a definite leaning towards the singer/songwriter genre. Stephen is keen to increase the range of musicians appearing on the balcony and would welcome contact from jazz and classical musicians in particular. Space on the balcony might be a bit tight for a grand piano but at the risk of losing an eye courtesy of an errant violin bow or a twirling drumstick a string trio or jazz trio with a snare drum could just about squeeze on there.If you are interested in getting in on the ground floor, so to speak, and appearing as one of the earliest performers on Balcony TV contact Stephen O'Regan at [email protected] or call Stephen at 086 8613374.You can say 'I was there…'.Visit Balcony TV at www.balconytv.comwww.musicnetwork.ie THE BALCONYTV MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS - LIVE FROM THE SUGAR CLUB JUNE 20TH 2OO8
