About Jim Carroll

I write about music and the music business for The Ticket , the weekly entertainment supplement with The Irish Times, and have been doing so since it was launched in November 2000. On The Record is the blog of the column which I write for The Ticket.

Before this, I did time as a journalist and editor for a rake of publications here and in the UK, and also worked in A&R, press and label management for several record labels and publishing companies (both independents and majors) in Ireland, the UK and US.

I’m also the co-founder of the Choice Music Prize, the Irish Album of the Year event, and present a weekly radio show on Dublin’s Phantom FM.
