Who are GoldenPlec GoldenPlec is an award winning music website run by an enthusiastic collective of Irish based writers and photographers. We were founded in 2002 as we felt at the time there was not enough coverage of both big and small shows around Ireland. We endeavor to be one of the first with music news and reviews for events in Ireland. If we could describe ourselves, we would suggest we are your gig-going, music-loving mate. The Site GoldenPlec has been running since 2002. GoldenPlec has been covering music in Ireland since then and supporting local Irish artists as well as visiting acts to these shores. We take in around 100k unique visitors a month and around 250k page views a month (stats circa 2014). Nobody on the site receives a wage and everyone works voluntarily on items they put themselves forward for. We believe that unless you are paying your volunteers, you should not be assigning them reams of work to do. In the summer of 2013 GoldenPlec won the Arthur Guinness Projects funding for music and will be in receipt of the funding heading into 2014 to relaunch and propel the website to a new level. GoldenPlec is currently maintained by a team of 8 deputy editors, 35 writers and 18 photographers.
