IASCA and FMC in association with Culture Ireland are giving the gift of music from Ireland to dignitaries travelling with HRH The Queen and President Obama during their individual visits to Ireland this month. 
 
The double CD entitled, Music From Ireland 2011 will be presented to over 1000 visiting dignitaries travelling with the UK and US heads of state. The main aim of the project is to promote Irish artists both at home (pr & streaming) and abroad (CD) and hope the artists involved benefit by being heard by the recipients, which include international press.

The artist selection process involved representative organisations Music Network, The Contemporary Music Centre, Improvised Music Company and First Music Contact nominating artists they feel currently represent a particular genre. The Arts Council and Culture Ireland advised the final list.
 
The music is divided in to four chapters, each chapter representing two genres:

Indie & Rock
Clasical & Contemporary
Traditional & Folk
Jazz & world
