Balcony TV Music Video Awards 2008 Nominations
Nominations for Balcony TV 2008 awards are in with nods to Luan Parle, Mumblin’ Deaf Ro and Redkid.
The daily web-cast show screens short, new music videos from Irish artists and poets, filmed on a balcony above Dame Street in central Dublin. A sister project on a tiny verandah in Hamburg’s Reeperbahn was launched in late 2007 and is a regular feature on youtube.de main page.
Brought to you by three friends and flatmates, Balcony TV, a ’boutique Irish music phenomenon’ according to Hot Press, was crowned Best Music Website in the Digital Media Awards 2007 and recently nominated for a prestigious Webby.
Fans and bands alike appreciate the unwavering support for burgeoning Irish music and its cheerful site, simple in design and packed with a wealth of accessible content in blogs and YouTube. You’re not a band til you’ve been on the Balcony :p
Check out this video announcement or hit the ‘more’ tab for a full list of linked artists and accompanying videos. A rocking ceremony at the Sugar Club on 20th June will see the winners crowned to the refrains of live performances from Royseven, The Kinetiks and Readers’ Wives amongst others…

Nicely played.
Siobhan O’Brien is my favorite singer of all time!! I traveled 9 hrs on a train to see her sing in Boston’s Symphony Hall with Paddy Moloney & The Chieftains backing her..I was blown away by her voice..a trip well worth it..Doesn’t matter if she wins video award for balcony tv..people are going to take notice of her incredible voice and songwriting! I’m a fan that’s for sure! here is her website incase anyone is interested in having a listen.

Adella Meally is really movin’ in the Irish scene. Playin’ support for some of the big names. she’s on her way. She’s all about the music which is sort of a change. hope she does well!
Siobhan, nine hours on a train, wow. You’d have to criss-cross Ireland a few times to do that here! Thanks for the link
Helen, I love how Adela’s bisexual love song! So catchy and a cute vid too…
