THE POTENTIAL COLLECTION
Po-ten-tial
-adjective
The inherent ability or capacity for growth, development, or coming into being.


Three years after its inception as a singer/songwriter open mic night, The Zodiac Sessions delivers its second acoustic compilation of unsigned, up and coming artists. Since its inception organiser Barry "Jazz" Finnegan, has given up and coming artists a chance to showcase their work to an appreciative audience on a weekly basis in Bruxelle's on Dublin's Harry Street. Unlike other promoters he's not in this for personal gain and entirely self funds the evening. His sole purpose is to promote the talents of these performers. "When you witness the amazing talents of people going unnoticed, you can stand back and do nothing, or you can do this." Regular artists appearing at the sessions include founding member of Blue Oyster Cult Joe Bouchard, Eurovision star Mickey Joe Harte, Luan Parle and Mundy.

Having developed a huge cult following, March 2006 saw the release of the The Potential Collection, which showcased some of the finest new musical talent around including Angels composer Ray Heffernan, Micheal Roche, Brian McGovern and Tyrone Relph. Such was its popularity that due to demand Barry has now put together a second volume of the popular collection featuring 12 more inspiring tracks performed by some of the regular musicians. This second compilation boasts a wide range of acoustic styles from folk to soul. Some of the acts contributing to the eagerly awaited album include:

- Jezzebelle, winners of Clonmel National Song Contest 2007 and NOISE Battle of the bands 2007;
- G.D.C. (Grá Don Ceoil), whose video from The Zodiac Sessions of the song "Jazz" was featured on YouTube receiving over 53,000 hits;
- Wayne Brennan, whose single "And I Love" has received extensive airplay across the radio waves and its video featured recently on Channel 6.

Jazz is a legend. The Zodiac Sessions has to be one of the best open mic nights in the world, never mind Ireland. If you're in Dublin any Wednesday night you've gotta check it out.

Cheers pal, I'm blushing!!

The concept and implementation of an interactive YouTube video is just brillant!. Also the idea of an open mic night... geesh, I'd love to see stuff like that around me :P

No wonder why Irish music is so good

Thanks a mill for that comment. Took a while to put together but it was fun to do and as for running the night, you need only listen to their music and meet the guys to understand why. Hope you enjoy the music from The Zodiac Sessions in future mate.
