- Music Generation Galway City Develop new ‘Galway City: Your Council’ Podcast Jingle
Galway City Council is delighted to share a special feature episode of the’ Galway City – Your Council’ podcast - diving into the creative process behind our brand‑new podcast jingle.
This episode was produced in collaboration with Music Generation Galway City and created alongside two talented young musicians, Arthur and Isaac, who took the lead in crafting the new jingle. While Galway City Council provided the broad brief, Arthur and Isaac – supported by their Music Educator Emma Lohan – shaped the sound from the ground up. Using an audio mixer, drum machine and synth, they met over several sessions to experiment, refine ideas, and build the melody and rhythm that give the jingle its unique character. Their creativity, collaboration, and musical instinct are at the heart of the final piece you’ll hear.
David Boland, Music Development Officer and Emma Lohan, Music Educator from Music Generation Galway City also join us to talk about the impact of music for young people, the range of Music Generation projects happening across the city, and how creativity, collaboration and youth voice came together to bring this jingle to life.
The Galway City Council Arts Office, on behalf of Galway City Council, provides €25,000 for general Music Generation activity and committed to an additional €10,000 investment in 2025 for the pilot programme ‘Music in Nature’.
The Arts Office also provide supports, recommendations and help steer the activity of Music Generation Galway City. They also platform some of the Music Generation performances through Galway City’s St. Patrick’s Festival, Youth Lates, Cruinniú na nÓg and Culture Night.
