As anticipation builds for Arthur’s Day®, GUINNESS & CO today announced details of the ultimate Arthur’s Day iPhone app. Created to allow the whole of Ireland to come together and share in the celebrations on Thursday 23rd September, the app offers users an enhanced Arthur’s Day experience, providing the latest information in relation to all planned events taking place throughout the country and allowing users to track where their friends are toasting on the night via a geo locater and a Facebook link up.
The Arthur’s Day app will countdown to a worldwide toast at 17.59 (GMT), which will launch the global celebrations and once again see some of the world’s most established artists including Snow Patrol, Brandon Flowers, Paolo Nutini and Kelis, play in traditional Irish pubs and music venues, while raising a glass to Arthur Guinness and his lasting legacy. A toast function will allow users to create and share toasts (text & image) on the app with other users and also on a live feed tab on the Guinness Ireland Facebook fan page. A selection of these toasts will be broadcast on the Pub Channel (Sky 881) via a ticker on the channel’s Arthur’s Day broadcast on the day. The app will also feature toasts & updates from artists performing as part of the Arthur’s Day celebrations.
