Papergirl began in Berlin in 2006 and has since traveled to over 20 cities worldwide.

To participate, send work to: Papergirl Dublin, c/o Blackchurch Print Studio, 4 Temple Bar, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Here’s one of the four tracks included on the USB submission given by The Alpaca Jamboree, called Bonny Ship the Diamond.

Here’s what the Alpacas themselves say about it: “A Scottish fishing song from the early eighteenth century. This song was sung by the crew of ships setting sail for Greenland to hunt whales for months on end. In 1819 the ships named in the song were all lost to the Greenland ice, although their crews escaped, camped on the ice in tents made from ship’s sails for 10 months and were eventually rescued.”

Our very first audio submission! From the Hiberno-Dutch glass-pop group Bottle Dave and the Sliders… who are just so new they don’t even have a website yet. Or a bandcamp.

BUT there’s an audio sample available here.

When he’s not playing with bottles, Dave goes by the name Henderson#

Audio Submissions

Any musical types who would like to give some sounds to Papergirl Dublin, LISTEN UP.

We have decided the best way to do this is via USB key, and we will be able to supply a 1GB key to anyone interested in participating.

More detailed info on this soon, but if you’re interested, email us so that we know it’s worth our while: papergirldublin@gmail.com
