Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox television Fanning At Whelans is an Irish music television series, that celebrates the Irish music scene.
Presented by Dave Fanning from Dublin's iconic venue, Whelan's of Wexford St.[1][2][3][4]
The show consists of live music from both up-and-coming and established Irish bands/artists from varying genres. It is broadcast on Virgin Media TV.[5][6][7]
History
During the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland, Fanning was concerned that the Irish music industry was in trouble and Irish musicians were not able to tour and therefore earn a living. In November 2020, he teamed up with long-time producer Ian Wilson, and through his production company Bebbak Ltd, acquired funding from Whelans and Guinness to record a series of gigs with no audience. The aim of the production was to get the bands/artists and film crew paid during a time when there was no other work available in their industry. This became season one of Fanning at Whelan's.[8]
According to Meath Chronicle, “Dave Fanning is a name that has become synonymous with Irish music. There is no Irish broadcaster that has done more to give young bands a much-needed break than the legendary radio DJ Dave Fanning, from his early days on pirate radio to the renowned Fanning Sessions on RTE Radio. And now Fanning returns to our screens doing exactly what he does best – showcasing the best of Irish music.”[9]
Appearances to date include Dark Tropics,[10] Emily 7,[11] Saibh Skelly.[12] and guest interviewees Bob Geldof[13] and Domhnall Gleeson.[14]
Format
The show consists of five to six live music performances per episode. Each episode also features a well-known Irish guest who is interviewed about their favourite music.[15]
