Queenless Kings.
MUSIC fans can vote for a Tralee band for the Wildcard Award, with a prize of €2,500 for the winner, in the Irish Music Month Bursary Award.
Queenless Kings are among the 25 regional finalists in the competition. The Tralee-based band are a four-piece alt-rock outfit who draw inspiration from ‘80s and ‘90s guitar heroes.
Following a phenomenal talent search, featuring a genre-blending selection of acts from right across the country, Hot Press and the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI) are thrilled to present the six national finalists for A New Local Hero.

Out of the hugely talented 25 regional finalists, Brad Heidi (Galway Bay FM), Darian June (Red FM), Negro Impacto (LMFM), Temi (FM104), Paddy Keyes (Ocean FM) and Eva Campbell (SPIN 1038) have been chosen to perform at the live finale showcase event at The Academy, in Dublin, on April 25.
However, there are still huge opportunities for the 19 artists who didn’t make the final six: this year’s edition of A New Local Hero also includes a special new element – with all 25 regional finalists still in with a chance to be crowned the winner of the Wild Card Award voted by the public. The Wild Card winner will be awarded a €2,500 bursary.
