“The diversity of the video entries has been incredible,” said Grace Mercer, Competition Organizer. “Bands have entered from across North America, Ireland and the UK with some famous names in there and even a multi-talented group who appeared on America’s Got Talent who play violins and Irish dance at the same time!”
