Irish Country Music Awards on RTE

roosterman71

Auld fella has thrown this on so I'm in for an evening of Daniel and ****e talk from people thanking each other.

Anyone else watching? I don't find the country music seen too bad here (as in, I wouldn't go for rope if it was on the radio), so I should be able to bear this.

Atlantic Dawn

I thought they would have held it somewhere bigger, everyone is on top of each other.

Harry Angstrom

Not much of fan of country music (although the LLS country special was probably the most lively and entertaining show of the season ), I feel a bit sorry for the older and more established singers as they're not getting a look in tonight. It's all about the young ones.

Rock Lesnar

Let us know if Gareth makes a surprise appearance

Harry Angstrom

Poor Shay

ofcork

They shouldn't have had him up there on his own.

Welsh Megaman

I bet Derek Ryan and Mike Denver are so jealous that Nathan Carter got to record 'Wagon Wheel'.

I'd say they've locked him in his dressing room.

roosterman71

Jaysus Shay Healy has faded away. Felt sorry for the poor lad there now.

As for the young ones being to the forefront - proper feckin order! The oldies aren't really at the races anymore. Their time has come and gone and it's good to see a younger crew taking up the mantle and breathing new life into it. This show, and shows like it would not be on if we still only had Philomena, Margo, Mick Flavin and the likes. I'm not saying to consign them to the scrapheap by any means as they are all still very professional artists, just they haven't moved with the times just enough to be considered on par with the new artists

I like proper country music but the bastard Irish Country is just damn weird, creepy and absolutely shiţe...

The insincerity of the lot of them...

It's like an episode of France Ted.. the best bit being Daniel telling us we had to log onto the farmers journal website to vote... strangness

Atlantic Dawn

The Brexit might impact music, they will probably need work visas to perform in the UK.

elaney

They should have had it in a bigger venue i'd say thats the smallest crowd they
have played to in a long time.

Strumms

If crystal swing come on can somone pm me ?

Atlantic Dawn

Shane MacGowan is looking well.

O'Callaghan? Sure, why would he be there?

Saw my mother/brother in the audience.

Only downside is that he's not nominated for any awards tonight. They'll probably surprise him at the end with an induction into an Irish Country Music Hall of Fame thingy.

Strumms

Hahaha the portumna powerhouse...

Sam Kade

Big Tom is still able to sing, if Paddy Cole flapped his ears he'd take off.

They can't let Daniel go home empty handed it would be sacrilidge ;

Atlantic Dawn

Is there a lot of botox going on or are the performers just plastered in makeup?

Daniel seems to have eased off on the botox, his face isn't as stiff and there are a few wrinkles showing. Maybe rosenshock shamed him into doing without it. Some nice young ones there

If Leanne Moore comes on, can somebody hose me down with cold water.

PeterTheEighth

Daniel perched there like in the corner like Lee Harvey Oswald on the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository.

PeterTheEighth

Say Your Number

Was that a new song?

I don't recall ever hearing it before.

Rock Lesnar

I was waiting on a scrap over the mic there

Harry Angstrom

Ireland's favourite country song...... written by Bob Dylan and sung by a scouser.

Atlantic Dawn

They should take one song each year that has run its course and encase all copies of it in concrete and bury it at sea.

The scrap is being portrayed in a new movie, Brokeback Microphone

Atlantic Dawn

No Crystal Swing, have they been decommissioned?

Says it all... a cover version ! Galway girl playing in the background written by Steve Earle...

roosterman71

Not even a song to finish with? FFS!

PeterTheEighth

I'd say it's gonna be some night there. No doubt the will be regaling stories of Daniel's wild night, "up supping tae until QUARTER PAST TWELVE" for many years to come.
