Following their switch to online programming for flagship festival PORT to PORT, Garden Collective have kicked off a new online series to support independent artists and showcase up-and-coming Irish and Portuguese talent.

Garden Collective, the international arts collective originally founded in Cork, has embraced being home-bound with the launch of the Garden Gaff Party streaming series. Its unique format brings multiple artists into a single stream, meaning music-lovers around the world can sit back and enjoy the show, without having to flick from profile to profile.

“Garden Gaff Party was launched to financially support independent artists during COVID-19 while bringing a little funky joy into people’s homes at a time when we can feel so separate. We’re really happy that after just one stream, we’ve been extremely successful on both these fronts”, said Garden Collective organiser Eddie Ivers.

This Friday’s Garden Gaff Party, the second in the series, is set to feature Cork-legend Yenkee, the spectacular Dublin-based singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Inni-K, the Lisbon electro-duo 2Jack4U, with many more to be announced.

The Garden Gaff Party series goes live every two weeks, with the next event set for Friday 17th April, from 8pm to 2am. Tune in via their Facebook page, or sign up to their mailing list to get an alert. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agardencollective/
