Vote in Ireland's Music Awards

This is the inaugural year for Ireland's Music Awards, an event which will take place in Castlebar, County Mayo, on 1 August, accompanied by a concert with Sharon Shannon and the High Kings among the performers.

You can vote for your favorties in a number of categories

here.

Many of the musicians you've met -- and a few you'll meet soon -- here along the music road are in the ballots. Heidi Talbot, Mary Black, Altan, John McCusker, Michael McGoldrick. Le Vent du Nord, Sean Keane, Alison Brown, and Eddi Reader are just a few of those -- so I'm not telling you who to vote for, though I do encourage you to search for information about the nominees here at Music Road.
