10 one-hour radio shows have been commissioned to mark 10 years of Hard Working Class Heroes, including one from your favourite Irish music site. THIS ONE YOU JERKS.
The 10 shows are created, produced and recorded by various music journalists, musicians, promotors, label owners, etc. from several counties and genres of the Irish music spectrum. Each show was produced for Curious Broadcast.
