2009 IMTV Irish Music Video Awards Winners
Saturday, November 28th, 2009
Last night a few of us Culch.ies went along to the IMTV Irish Music Video Awards to see what it was all about. This was the first of the IMTV Video Music Awards and they did a great job. In The Sugar Club - always a great venue – the awards started off relatively on time and kept going at a good pace with intervening music from bands such as The Chapters, Noise Patrol and Julie Feeney, among others. We were also treated to some of the Best Video of 2009 nominees between each of the awards.
You can see all of the nominees on Sharon’s earlier post, and here are the winners of the night:

It was great fun and the bands that played really rocked the hell out of the stage. Especially Le Galaxie who seemed determined to live up to their newly received award for best dance video. Energetic lil bunnies!
Le Galaxie! They were the only other band to play besides the ones I mentioned, I couldn’t remember their name. Thanks Sharon.
Excellent to see Eoghan Kidney win, a very talented creative, one to watch out for in 2010. Thanks for posting
No worries Stephen, thanks for reading
