Fanning at Whelan's is an Irish music television series, presented by Dave Fanning from Whelan's.[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, acquired funding from Whelans and Guinness to record a series of gigs with no audience from Whelan's to be broadcast on Virgin Media TV.[8] 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.[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]
