The Paddy Mirage project will be running a series of fundraising events leading up to the Burning man festival. We will be looking for people to get involved with these. If you are a band or a DJ and you want to play at one of these contact Mark Staunton.

We will also be looking for bands and DJ's to play in the bar and gallery at the festival. Bands can be: Traditional, Rock, Pop and DJ's from all genres will be considered. Please send an example of any work you have done along with a brief CV and any gig dates to Mark Staunton.

If you wish to contribute artwork to the project, please contact us at info@burntheirishbar.com and we will make the necessary arrangements. All artwork used in the project will be displayed in our online gallery.

We will also be looking for people to travel with us to the festival and help with the construction of the bar. If you think you can help in this capacity contact one of the team. These people will be required to go to America at least three days before the beginning of the festival. This is so the bar is ready for the beginning of the festival.

If you want to travel to the Burning Man and contribute to the day-to-day running of the bar and gallery this can be done by first contacting one of the team. Responsibilities will include manning the bar and creating the atmosphere for all those visiting the bar and gallery.

People who travel over with the Paddy Mirage will be expected to remain on for a day after the festival has finished to help with the clean up. A motto of the Burning Man is 'leave no trace' and every year we intend to do just that. Everyone with the Paddy Mirage will be expected to comply with any rules set out by Burning Man. We all share this responsibility.

Those travelling with the Paddy Mirage will be encouraged to get involved with the day to day running of the Burning Man. There are many jobs that need to be done and you can get more information on this at www.burningman.com. e.g. greeters, lamplighters etc.

If you want to make a contribution to the project or documentary please get in touch with the relevant team member. Relevant information may be found on the contact page.

A word of advice to anyone intending to make the trip to the festival…. There is only a certain amount of people that we can include every year in the project. Our camp is for the moment limited to 50 people as this is as much camping space as we have. Also cooking for and cleaning up after over 50 people becomes a real problem. It is for this reason that we encourage people to get involved sooner rather than later. There is a lot of work to be done all year and we are not interested in people looking for a free ride.
