Balcony TV Music Video Awards winners !
|
Thanks to all who attended the BalconyTV Music Video Awards on Friday night in the Sugar Club. We hope your entertainment was polar opposite to our stress in organizing the event.
It was great to see so many recognizable faces in the crowd who have supported BalconyTV to date. It was also good to see a few of the people who performed on BalconyTV in the past couple of years.
The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the performance of Alberto The Musicbox from BalconyTV Hamburg who had the audience wailing in delight. My personal other highlights were RoySeven who opened the show, and AlanAlda and Tango Flash Mob.
Other great performances on the night came from the legendary John Spillane, the classically gifted Zoe Conway and John McIntyre, songstriss Adela Meally, the cuss wording Readers Wives, The Kinetiks with their rocking finale, and Soularia for traveling from far to be with us on the night.
Our award presenters on the night were Colm Lynch, Roddie Cleere from WLRFM, Lauren Guillery, Paul from RoySeven, Lars and Johanna from BalconyTV Hamburg, Leanne Harte, and Una Mullally.
If anyones interested in photos of the night you can find a chunk here provided by Entertainment.ie.
Congratulations to all the winners who were:

THE KINETIKS
The Kinetiks are one of the most exciting young bands to come out of Dublin in recent years. Having been nominated for the Hope of 2008 at the recent Meteor Awards, the band have received some wildly enthusiastic reviews - "an indie band like no other" (Hot Press) "one of Ireland's hottest new talents. These guys have it all. Rocking tunes, with punching vocal lines and tons of hooks"
(LiveInYourLivingRoom.com)
The Kinetiks performed on BalconyTV in April 2007 on one very windy day.

READERS WIVES
Led by Dublin's Morrissey (Mongrel Magazine) Niall James Holohan, Readers Wives have one of the most authentic sounds on the Irish music scene. Having just released their debut album, they have received overwhelmingly positive reviews. Here is just a small taste - "an unflinching debut album, a grimy set of songs, a sort of Weimar waltz to hell" - RTE Guide "a cracking album of great tunes, ska, rock, folk and whatever else you like" - the Event Guide "a joyous and powerful record, packed with great vocals, shining anthems & bright ideas" - News of the World Readers Wives have performed on BalconyTV twice. Their most recent performance was taped last month in the pouring rain. You can watch it

JOHN SPILLANE
John Spillanes debut solo album 'The Wells of The World' (1997) was described by Hot Press's Oliver Sweeney as, 'not only a striking and individual musical statement, but one of the albums of this or any other year.' His compositions have been described as, "highly original in concept, full of imagery and wonder".
In March 2003 John won the prestigious Meteor Ireland Music Award in the Best Folk/Traditional Act category.
Johns latest album My Dark Rosaleen & the Island of Dreams produced by John Reynolds has just been released by EMI records.
John Spillane helped BalconyTV celebrate its 2 Millionth video view last month. You can watch that performance here:

ZOE CONWAY AND JOHN MCINTYRE
Irish fiddle player, Zoë Conway, is a prodigious talent, equally at home in both traditional Irish and classical styles. Her list of achievements belies her youthful age as Zoë has performed across the globe, both as a solo artist and also playing with international acts such as Riverdance, Damien Rice, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Nick Cave and Lou Reed among others.
She is a holder of the much coveted All-Ireland Senior Fiddle Champion title, winning the prestigious competition in 2001. She was also recently voted Best Traditional Female of the Year in Irish Music Magazine.
