Winners and Round Up
Report by Stephen from BalconyTV.com
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.
Highlights
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.
Great Performances
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.
Presenters
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.
