Act chosen by Carlow and Kilkenny radio listeners for national competition say they’re grateful for the local support

The Carlow duo who made it to the final six of the nationwide New Local Hero competition say they’re hugely grateful for the support they received along the journey.

Asophonics was the choice of KCLR listeners and were then among the finalists for a showcase in The Academy in Dublin last night where Calum Agnew was declared the overall winner. (HotPress have more here).

Our Martin Bridgeman was there and will play out coverage from the night on his Ceol Anocht programme.
