Also this weekend…
Damien Mulley prepares for Saturday’s festivities
After the excitement of Wednesday’s Choice Prize, the awards fever continues through to the weekend with Saturday bringing the third annual Irish Blog Awards.
The Indie Hour blog is delighted to have been nominated for Best Irish Music Blog, along with this list of lovely people:
- nialler9
- Cheebah
- House is a Feeling
- mp3hugger
- KilkennyMusic.com
- The Torture Garden
- Asleep on the Compost Heap
- The Red Scrapbook
- Matt Vinyl
- French Letter
- Off Her Rocker
- Stuart Bailie
- I Prefer the Obscure Mix
Head to their blogs and start reading (and listening). Quality stuff.
I should think that nialler9 will pick up the Best Music Blog again this year, and deservedly so. But then again, SEBP won the Choice Music Prize…so you never know, dreams can come true… 🙂
Really looking forward to meeting some of my favourite bloggers down at the Alexander Hotel. Please come and say hello if you see the indie hour written on the name tag of a girl with glasses, big earrings and a pint of Guinness in her hand. That’ll be me.
Best of luck to everyone nominated, thanks again to Damien for everything, looking forward to a great night!

I really, really hope you win, Aoife. You’ve got a brilliant demeanour and great enthusiasm which shines through your blog like a …blog-halo. I don’t deserve to be on that list, I’m still too new and full of mistakes. You must allow me to refresh your Guinness supply tomorrow night!
Very best to ya!

Aww Ed, thanks a million for the comments, that is really cool. So glad you like the Mumblin’ Deaf Ro interview, I think it’s one of the best too. I can’t wait to see Ro in Anseo tonight! Once I recover a bit from my hangover…ouch.
Great night, and really cool to meet yourself and Andy and Phil, the nordie bloggers. Hope to meet you again soon!

What a nice thing to say.
If I’d seen a girl with a pint of guinness in her hand I would have approached her, regardless.
