Has he played in Ireland in 2003? His dates which I know of are in December.

tman

clubbing.com has gone to **** in recent months, the front page has only been updated once this year afaik.
and the forums have been up & down like a yoyo for the past 2 weeks, without so much as a word of appology from the admins.
take them off the list tbh

technobob

yup have to heartily agree with tman there

ShriekingSheet

my addition suggestions:

Best Album - Final Straw by Snow Patrol

Best Live Irish Act - Damien Rice

Best New International Act - Damien Rice (what with his stateside expeditions going so well)

Best Irish Music Radio Show - whatever sinister Pete's show is called on phantom fm!

Best Irish Music Radio Show - Dave Fanning on 2fm, the new show is excellent! It is topical and very diverse. I enjoy driving home from work at 6pm & listening to the show.

Radiohead - 2 nights at the olympia back in May
Paul McCartney - a classic 37 song set back in May

Yes - Best TV program - names of programs please...

funkster

Gigsmarts website isn't the best however the sterling work the lads do deserves some sort of recognition or award.

They've put on millions of gigs for unsigned acts this year and put out that CD that made 6 in the chart whilst not pocketing any dough themselves (unlike every other dope runnin shows).

Hows about some sort of category that recognises this? Many bands have had their audiences substantially inflated cos of em!

Kurdt

best irish:
turn
bell x1
berkeley
polar
the 66 electric
future kings of spain
snow patrol

best international live act:
queens of the stoneage
radiohead

best radio show:
i think the sinister pete show you're on about is called 'the two petes talk rubbish'

i'd like to nominate 'icon' for this category. its on phantom and it showcases new irish music

best album:
radiohead - hail to the thief
elbow - cast of thousands
bell x1 - music in mouth

It may not really belong in this set of awards, but what about the possibility of a 'Best Classical Album' or 'Best live Classical performance'?

I am conscious that, compared to the other categories, there might be relatively little interest in voting under these headings, so perhaps it's beyond the scope of these awards.

If it's decided to include them, I'll post a number of suggestions under each category, if it's decided not to include them, no problem.

We're limited to 10 categories, with a max of 10 nominees each, the 10 categories limited has been reached.
