Monaghan's Mia in last six of Local Hero competition

Monaghan's Mia Black has made the final shortlist of six artists in the search of a new Local Hero, a unique award, which has been created as part of Irish Music Month.

Irish Music Month is an initiative of Hot Press and Independent Broadcasters of Ireland and is funded by Coimisiún na Meán, under its Sound & Vision scheme.

Mia, a student from Castleblayney, who recently was crowned the Shannonside / Northern Sound Local Hero, will now perform in the Grand Finalé at The Academy in Dublin on Tuesday, October 15th. At this ceremony one act will be crowned as Ireland's New Local Hero for 2024.
