Dervish, have released their first App on the Apple App store to celebrate 21+ years on the road. The iPad app, created in partnership with the Serious Games & Virtual World’s team, based in the School of Computing & Intelligent Systems at the University of Ulster’s Magee Campus, is free to download from the App store and features a handpicked selection of songs, videos and an episode of the ever popular Irish Heartbeat radio show, providing users with a highly interactive introduction to the band and their rich musical history.

Cathy Jordan, lead singer of Dervish said “As a band we have always tried to innovate and evolve while staying true to tradition and our roots, a balancing act that is sometimes a difficult path to travel. Part of this process is embracing the opportunities presented by new technologies.
The interactivity offered by a platform like the iPad allows us to present our music in new and engaging ways and to reach new audiences worldwide.“ The project was part funded by Enterprise Ireland under the Innovation voucher scheme.
Further information on the App is now available on the Dervish website at www.dervish.ie
