The Richter Collective has put a call out for supporters to become a “friend” and donate money in order to expand their empire both in Ireland and overseas. The home-run label has quickly become one of the most popular bastions of independent music in Ireland, in recent times releasing albums by bands such as And So I Watch You From Afar, Squarehead and The Redneck Manifesto.

The proposed "friendship" project isn't just a one-way street, though. In return for a €100 donation, you'll receive a bundle that includes CDs, digital downloads and guestlist privileges for all Richter Collective-promoted events. The offer is limited to 200 spaces only.

"We want to continue promoting independent Irish music worldwide but we need more funding if we are to continue at the pace and scale we think the music we promote deserves," they say. "People who donate will be helping us to grow and spread into new territories."
