Oh now it is..
Thanks Una, best of luck to ya too.
Well done Niall, very well deserved. I have no doubt it’ll be two in a row for you.
Well done nialler 🙂
I’m delighted to be on this list but feel totally out of place among you ‘real’ music bloggers. Well done on the nomination and best of luck on the night. I’m sure it’ll be yours again this year- well deserved.
Ah come on! Some one start an entertaining slagging match. So many niceties. Ah no, I’m looking forward to meeting everyone this year who wasn’t there last year.
Are ye deliberately linking to the old iprefertheobscureremix at its old blogspot domain to boost your own credibility as the bookie’s favourite?!?
Must admit I only read this blog and torture garden, but will check the others out. Cheers for the links
i think you’re all great
