Cameras out as battle begins at The Stables

RTE will have cameras in Mullingar on Tuesday May 19, to film a 'battle of the bands' event - featuring tribute bands bidding for a place at Glastonbudget, the premier world festival for tribute bands.The film crew will be in The Stables, but also doing bits of filming around Mullingar on the Monday and parts of Tuesday in advance of the actual 'battle' itself, which takes place on Tuesday evening in The Stables.The filming is for a documentary series, 'Scrap Metal', which aims to find Ireland"s best hard-rock tribute band.This high-octane five-part series has been commissioned to bring a more left-field approach to RTE"s scheduling.
