    I tried to keep this category to three, others did not get in. I also had to keep a bit of mass appeal in mind. Maybe next year?

    The Crayonz!

    Fix up that bloody poll mate. Last time I checked there was more than 3 new bands in Ireland during the past year and your excuse of 'limiting it' has to be the weakest thing I've heard in days. :rolleyes:

    Stick The Tycho Brahe in ferfuxake. The award should be Best New Irish Act, not Best New Act to Ireland, anyway.

    Nobody has suggested them (until now). I have heard of Berkeley before, but kind of forgot about them.
