Hi,
My name is Audrey,
I would be very interested in joining your music journalism course.
I have a BA in journalism and have covered many aspects of the media including writing articles, researching and presenting radio shows.
On a professional level I have recently finished a contract as Assistant Editor for Heineken music.ie. My responsibilities were; writing an original weekly feature, daily music news, interviewing bands, reviewing gigs and albums.
Unfortunately this contract was short lived and since then have found it impossible to get back into music journalism.
I strongly believe this course would be very beneficial to someone of my experience,
I look forward to hearing from you,
Audrey Mulholland
Julia Rose, DePaul University graduate- I will be there!

Hi,
I currently work within the music industry therefore am lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend lots of gigs & listening to new music comes part n parcel with the role.
I currently have a fashion blog where I also intend to write music reviews (hence the name) but have not been confident enough to do so as of yet so I feel that attending this course would be Exactly what I need.
I hope I can be included in the 30 attendees & look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Roisin

I’d like to put my name down for the course, I know it’s overbooked at this stage, just in case the high demand results in a larger venue.
I’d love to attend this course if there’s any room left. Wasn’t online earlier when it was announced.

Worried I may have missed the boat on this one, but if there’s any way of squeezing me in then I’d love to take part.
Great idea!

As a journalism student interested in music I’d love to attend but I’m currently based in Galway so I would only be able to make it to one or two of the sessions, is that possible? Also I realise there are nearly 100 comments here so I’m guessing places are filled up but if there’s even a single space on any of the nights I’d love to go.
Thanks, Ian.
Ahhhhhh, just heard about this. sounds amazing. Would love to do it and will happily bookend this list with fingers crossed for apocalypse.
I would love to attend if there was a place, sounds great, sign me up please!!
I’d love to come along please, though I seem to be wayyy down the list. Maybe you could take standing room at the back!
Hayley Reynolds
Would love to attend if possible!

Hello,
If there are any spare places I will take one. Love to attend.

Just heard about this today-very magnanimous of all the journalists involved to share their valuable insights. I know the course has long since been filled with participants but would like to register my interest in taking part in any similar future ventures.
Cheers
Hey guys, guess i missed the boat a little on this, but sure if any space comes up id love to attend, thanks
Slow coach here…will quickly fill empty spaces.
I’d like to be added to the waiting list please
Only getting around to leaving my name for this now 😦
Hopefully you guys might think about expanding this, or else maybe running a repeat course in the new year. Otherwise, think I saw mention of podcasts somewhere, so hopefully they’ll be helpful.
Thanks again to everyone involved in getting DAA off the ground. Best of luck with it!
Hope this is the right place to get on the waiting list……I would love to go to any of them!
