Strange that its slanted towards irish bands but has a few international bands for good measure. Prob would have made sense just to focus on irish music if that was the case

Not that im complaining, the standard of new irish music this year has been incredible

Hi Ronan – the bands listed in each category are more of a guideline/suggestion, as you can vote for your own choice in the ‘other’ box, if your favourite is not listed. That’s why there’s a selection of Irish and international bands. Don’t ask me about the technical side of things, though, I’ve no idea.

Thanks Lauren

Thats fair enough, thought it just read kinda funny
Im looking forward to seeing who comes up on top
Irish music fans have a lot to be thankful of this year so i can see the Irish bands doing well

Thanks again for putting me straight
