BLOC is available on Facebook<\/a><\/span>, Twitter<\/a><\/span>, Instagram<\/a><\/span>, YouTube<\/a><\/span>, IGTV<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and gaming network Twitch.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Followers can tune in daily to see young talent from across the country bringing you top stories on social issues<\/a>, entertainment,<\/a> gaming<\/a>, travel<\/a> and much more.<\/p>\n

Having already won \u2018VLOG of The Year\u2019 and a \u2018SOCKIE\u2019 earlier this year, BLOC has already showcased the work of over 30 young content<\/a> creators both nationally and internationally. Followers continue to be entertained daily as they watch BLOCers traverse the fjords of Iceland<\/a>, sandboard in Peru<\/a>, discover secret waterfalls in Donegal<\/a>, unwrap the hidden laws of love<\/a> and question societal norms<\/a> in a bid to create top content WITH you!<\/p>\n

BLOC prides itself in producing raw and informative content. Their recent breast check feature<\/a> in their #Selfcare series shows Irish women how to perform a self-breast check. BLOC LIVE<\/a> debates cast a spotlight on issues such as \u2018Drink Spiking in Ireland\u2019, whilst BLOC\u2019s short film<\/a> and comedy series<\/a>\u2019<\/u> cut deep as they question the status quo.<\/p>\n

BLOC\u2019s diversity and boldness was on show this evening (Thursday 29th<\/sup> of November) at The Workman\u2019s Club in Dublin for the official BLOC launch. BLOC followers got to indulge in music by internationally recognised DJ & music producer Daith\u00ed. Bella Go Go performers added to the fan fair as they engulfed the room with their spectacle, while gamers battled forces in the gaming corner which was complete with a giant Connect 4.<\/p>\n

MC Miche\u00e1l \u00d3 Ciaraidh and BLOC content creators were joined by well-known Irish peers from radio, tv and print in what can only be described as a great BLOC party.<\/p>\n
