The initiative aims to connect talented musicians across the district with future networking opportunities, council-led events, and community programmes throughout the region.
The Council is seeking applications from all musicians, including solo artists, bands, and traditional music groups.
The database will serve as a vital resource for event organisers seeking to showcase local talent and support the area’s vibrant music scene.
Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr Lilian Seenoi Barr urged individuals and groups to get involved: “This is an exceptional opportunity for the local musical community to gain visibility and access to performance opportunities.
“The rich musical heritage of our area deserves to be celebrated, and this database will help ensure local talent is at the forefront of our cultural programming.
“Music is at the heart of our cultural identity in this region, and Council is committed to supporting our local artists and giving them platforms to showcase their incredible talents.
“This database will not only benefit the musicians themselves but will enhance our community events by featuring the diverse musical talents that make our district so special.
“I urge local musicians to register their interest today, it could be the start of a really exciting journey!”
Musicians interested in joining the database are required to submit basic information including their name or band name, genre or style of music, contact details, links to their music (if available), and their fee for a two-hour performance slot.
Applications must be submitted via the online registration form at: https://forms.gle/c8yb5tZJdsKTXszK6 by Friday, 11th April 2025 at 12:00 noon.
