Carling\/Hot Press<\/a> battle of the bands 1988<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Carling\/Hot Press<\/a> Battle Of The Bands was a completion to find the best unsigned band in Ireland. Bands had to send a demo tape in to the judges, the final 20 would then be selected to play live at Sir Henry’s<\/a> in Cork, to make it though to the grand final. If you won, a record deal & \u00a31,000 was up for grabs. In the first heat The Penelope Smash from Belfast were replaced by Lipstick Vogue<\/a> from Dublin at the last minute. At this time I don’t know why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
