Galway to host auditions for first Irish voice on Ring video doorbells
The doorbell service company is holding auditions across the country to find one Irish voice to record a set of audio messages to play across all Ring Video Doorbells in Ireland. The event will take place on level one of the Eyre Square Shopping Centre in Galway city on Saturday, August 9 from 10am until 7pm and Sunday, August 10 from 11am until 6.30pm. The audio messages – known as quick replies – will play when the owner cannot answer the door. Any visitors that ring the doorbell will hear a pre-selected greeting with the winner's voice and an option to leave a message. Entries will be judged by a panel - including radio and TV presenter Carl Mullan - who will help select Ireland's voice. It's the first time an Irish accent will be heard on Ring Video Doorbells. People in Ireland can audition to become the voice of the nation in several ways, including in-person auditions in Galway this weekend. Auditions are also open online in English and Irish, with other audition events planned across the country throughout August. Members of the public can share a video of their recorded audition on TikTok or Instagram by posting their clip with #RingsVoiceoftheNation and tagging @Ring alongside #RingsVoiceoftheNation. Irish people with a Ring device and Ring Protect subscription plan can enter by recording themselves filming their greeting on a Ring device, pressing the 'Share' button on the Ring app and choosing 'Share with Ring'. Panel judge Carl Mullan said: 'The Irish accent is renowned all over the world and I'm buzzing to launch Ring's Irish Voice of the Nation to bring our lovely accent to devices across the country. 'There's something enchanting and melodic about our accents and I can't wait to hear what the people of Ireland come up with for their auditions,' he added.

It was an honour to get to know you as friend and a musical mentor. "I will miss our hangs and stories in Palm Springs. One of the greatest to ever do it and a beautiful person and soul.

Reflecting on the proposition, Terry revealed in 2023: "I was very friendly with Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. "Keith asked me to support the Stones in the States, but then shortly afterwards, Jimmy wanted me to join his new band. I was torn. "In the end, I put the ball in Jimmy's court. I said: 'You'd better speak to Keith and tell him I'm not going.' But Jimmy bottled it. Advertisement "He said: 'I'm not having him shoot me in the f***ing leg.; Even then, Keith had a reputation. "So I ended up going to America with the Stones. I even played with them at Altamont." Terry also had an offer to replace Rod Evans in Deep Purple. Looking back on the Deep Purple invitation, he recalled: "I'm not sure what frame I was in when I was asked. Advertisement "I think it was when Ritchie was doing it at the beginning. Or maybe afterwards. Or maybe inbetween. I had gone to California and it's all a bit vague. "But Blackmore was a brilliant guitar player, wasn't he? I saw him in Screaming Lord Sutch's Savages. Sutch used to chase him around the stage with an axe." 6 Terry sadly had to cancel his last tour 6 Terry in 1973 Credit: Getty
