hot press

Artists like U2, Hothouse Flowers and Sinead O'Connor were written about extensively in the pages of Hot Press long before they achieved success either in ireland or on the international scene.

Launched in 1977, Hot Press is now firmly established at 13 Trinity Street as Ireland's most perceptive and controversial magazine. The world's top rock acts automatically put Hot Press on their interview schedules and the magazine's journalists are regularly called on to write tour programme notes and to provide comment for television, radio and press outlets all over the world.

Several top acts have also written for Hot Press, including Bono and Adam (U2), Elvis Costello, Philip Chevron (The Pogues), Enya, Bob Geldof, Tom Dunne (Something Happens) and Noel Redding (Jimmi Hendrix Experience).

Hot Press have published two best-selling books, The U2 File, and U2, Three Chords and The Truth.
