"CARPOOL LILT"
The Countryman Summer Series
Concept
An 8-part online series where Absolute Lilt drive to different parts of the country in their Countryman, picking up 8 different Irish personalities (artists, comedians, influencers), load them into our Countryman and have them direct us on a picturesque local drive around or to their favourite local spot, capturing the beautiful Irish countryside and countryman en route via in car and drone shots. Jumping back in the car we then either:
1. Teach them a lilt, phrase by phrase, that we then all perform together as our "end product"
OR
2. Have them perform one of their own songs/raps while we provide our unique lilt backing.
Examples of both approaches can be seen in this pilot episode we shot in Rotterdam with MINI global ambassador Sophia Thakur.
1. Kneecap - Irish Rap trio - Instagram 242k / Tiktok 54k
2. I'm Grand Mam - Comedian/podcasters - Instagram 87k / Tiktok 60k
3. Kate Nash - Singer Songwriter - Instagram 165k / Tiktok 150k (Irish mother, about to release an Irish album)
4. James Kavanagh - Podcaster/Presenter - Instagram 181k / Tiktok 48k
5. How to Gael - Podcaster/Presenters - Instagram 38k / Tiktok 1k
6. BIIRD - Trad supergroup - Instagram 10k / Tiktok 4k
7. Mike Rice - Comedian - Instagram 58k / Tiktok 48k
8. Hermitage Green - Band - Instagram 30k / Tiktok 2.5k
We also feel confident that we could secure Garron Noone, Amble, Kingfisher, NIYL and CMAT, all of whom we have connections with and who have new music coming out next year that they will want to promote.
Guests...
Why you should say "Yes, dom diddly DUH!!!!!"
Our skills-set and brand in Absolute lilt is much like yours at MINI. We combine heritage and tradition with good crafts(wo)manship and a modern twist to create something of unique beauty and character, whilst maintaining our timeless appeal. As best mates, our relationship is made up of big laughs and big love, which shines through on camera. Being just one of our many creative ventures we are both heavily immersed in the current trending Irish music, art and fashion scene, with most of the proposed guests for this series in our close-friend-circles. It is clear that Irish contemporary culture is having a moment - one that is celebrating our heritage and community - evident in everything from the increase in popularity of trad music and homegrown artists on festival line-ups to fashion and art trends leaning back into Celtic design and mythology, and the huge increase in people using and learning Irish as a language thanks to the influence of "Kneecap" & "How to Gael".
Furthermore, I think we should discuss the potential of customising our car to include some tricolour fixtures, be it in the back lights or rooftop - something that would make those hero shots look extra hero! Let's catch this modern Ireland wave together and solidify MINI's place in Irelands future, culture and story!
