So the Meteor Awards are over, and apparently great fun was had by all in the RDS.
It was strange having it on St. Patrick's Day, as well as the general drunkness level being higher then usual, lots of our more in-demand acts were abroad being musical ambassadors, while another bunch were in the states for South By Southwest.
As a result the usual amount of Irish Acts weren't about, and Band and Best Album winners The Script phoned in their acceptance speeches. Still it's good to see rising stars like Imelda May, Mick Flannery and Wallis Bird (Best Female, Male and hope for 2009) get recognised, and as Amanda Byram would shout "C'mon guys, it's PADDY'S DAAAY!"
Anyway, What's the point of giving Westlife another award? They didn't even release another album last year. Why isn't there a "Best New Band" award any more? Why does everything have to be chosen by text message these days? Do i really care who wins the best pop act award?
While i don't know if its worth wondering too much about the answers to these questions, i do find myself caring less about the outcomes of these things every time one comes about.
Still, nice to be recognised for those nominated.
Here's a little clip:
