- TRIG promotions is a small time promotion-management company run by myself Jimmy Trigger of metal band Itchy Trigger Finger, along with a couple of very close friends. TRIG promotions is proudly in association with, CORT Guitars, Essaness Music, Kilkenny Metal promotions and Double Standard productions.
After along time thinking about starting to do something like this, i decided to put thought into action. I have started this to be perfectly honest because I have seen so many talented bands come out of Kilkenny and never move on to do anything greater, whether it be lack of knowledge of the business or bad guidance. I am here along with a few others people to make sure people hear these names and give them the best possible chance at success.
I am interested in getting Kilkenny bands out of here and getting some great bands from around the country down here. As I have done this but taken no credit for it in the past, You only have to ask yourself have you heard of bands like Clergy and the string of bands that have come from the members, Waiting for Vega, hero in error, others like Eyes-closed, Silent Conflict, younger bands like Cronus...etc ... Guess who brought them to Kilkenny first, that’s right, yours truly baby ... and look at the success they have enjoyed down here. I want to continue doing this but on a bigger level...oh and this time I’m taking the credit, haha.
Love me or hate me, I get the job done, I am STRAIGHT UP, NO BULLSHIT. Il make NO promises, I guarantee nothing, You'll get as much as you put in. I am willing to work with anyone on a professional basis. Simple as that ... If you want to be pumped full of shit, i suggest you try somewhere else. I go by one simple rule, "Friendship First...Business Second"
I am currently working with what i think is the best that Kilkenny has to offer in the Death, Prog, garage/alternative and grunge Rock/Metal genres. I have a team of great Friends keeping me in line and watching my back that all very experienced in their fields of Media Production, Business management, Sound Engineering, Promotion and everything else you need. I am confident and I'm in a take no shit mood, to quote Flight of the Concords ... "ITS BUSINESS TIME"

TRIG Promotions: X-mas Party, Charity gigs, FUN FOR ALL!!!
TRIG Promotions: X-mas Party, Charity gigs, FUN FOR ALL!!!
OK, so blogs eh? Not good at these at all, but here goes again.
Just I would like to start off by saying THANK YOU to everybody that has supported TRIG Promotions over the last year and a bit. I feel the gigs that have been put on have been all so successful and the talent showcased has been nothing short of amazing. Why am I writing this blog???
Ok so the festive season is coming soon and personally I have never been so busy in all my life with everything I have got involved in, But I feel I owe a little something back to the bands and people that have supported me. Back in September I booked 2 gigs for December planned everything and got the major work outta of the way...thank f**k,So NOW I can confirm that TRIG Promo are running to awesome gigs on the 18th and 19th of December. The 18th brings back Ireland best TOOL Tribute band THE GRUDGE on their 'goodbye' tour. These guys have worked their asses off over the years and have entertained thousands of Tool fans all around Ireland. They will be join by a support TBA.
But the Main Event is the Saturday the 19th...THE TRIG PROMOTIONS CHRISTMAS PARTY (woohoo), This is going to be fun as fudge. We have 5 of Ireland's best up and coming bands from Indie, to hard rock, to metal. The line up is as followings
TAME (Kilkenny)Ozzmium (Down)Modern Rik (Kilkenny)Sylian Rayle (Dublin)Chemical Addiction (Kilkenny)and hopefully another act for the craic
but that’s not all, Because Christmas is a time for giving ALL proceeds (after expenses for bands of course) will be donated to Charity. I am happy to say we have joined forces with the team that organised Carlow/Kilkenny's GOT TALENT and we are donating the money made to the CHERNOBYL CHILDREN FUND.
BUT, again, that’s not all. The Christmas party will be more than bands, There are raffles, prizes, empty buckets to be filled with change and...I'm actually nervous about this, There will be what I have nick-named 'THE CHARITY CHOP' A bunch of us have volunteered to get Hair chopped off and heads shaved...dare I say it, Including me. I'll be chopping off a big chunk of my hair on the night. Note I haven't had a hair cut since the 5th of December 1998, so I am nervous as...And Im sure there will be more chaos on the night. This essentially will be a Charity weekend...But it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun to. So empty you pockets for the people shaving and cutting their hair, buy some tickets for some sweet prizes, show up, have a few beers, eat biscuits and lollipops, pull a Christmas cracker, sit on Santa's lap (giggidy)
...AND LET'S F**KN WRECK THE PLACE!!!
I personally can't wait for this and I can't wait to see everybody there.
Until the next update
KEEP IT POSITIVE
