Nialler9 won its fourth Irish music blog award in a row at the Irish Blog Awards in Galway last night. Diriculous.
Congrats to all the other winners in the other categories (well done Jim Carroll, Panti & Culchie in short), everyone nominated (particularly The Torture Garden, The Good Mood Food Blog and kDamo). Apologies to all the other Irish music bloggers nominated for always winning this yoke.
Big thanks to Damien Mulley, Rick O’ Shea, the team of helpers, the category sponsor – DeStudio and everyone who made it down nominated or not. Hope you got a ‘9 badge’! Full list of winners.

Well done Nialler. Congratzies.
Congrats on it again. You give the rest of us something to aim for. Without your blog, there would be nothing to inspire us. Like the British Army – be the best. And as always, you are. Well done Niall.
Well done and well deserved as usual.
Who is this “Niall”. Does he really exist? Is he just a prelude to Skynet? Will we all soon be trampled beneath the riveted feet of our machine opressors? Is it his fault? Yes? Yes.
Chuffed for you, Nially.
Well deserved….was good to say hello again…if you are ever up this way gimme a shout…I know the clean restaurants…heh
Congratulations Niall! Well deserved again!
Excellent, well deserved
