Saturday night finds us at the Alexander Hotel in Dublin to witness the . For this, their third year, it’s a family reunion and the chance to share a real-time experience with , , , and .
While there are several nordies in the room (, , ), the trophies are staying down south. It’s nice that I’ve been nominated in the Best Music Blog category, but as predicted, the honour goes to Here’s a photo of the guy with Aoife from and myself, swapping thoughts.
While the tone isn’t anti-corporate, much of the energy is coming from individuals outside the traditional media. In time, the best of the talent will be absorbed by the mainstream, just as David Fanning went from pirate broadcasting to establishment. But for now, it’s enough to witness the adventure, the camaraderie and the barmpot humour. It doesn’t always amount to great writing, some of it is merely daft, but it’s a talent funnel, a deal of self-expression and it keeps some rather deviant souls off the streets.

Not all the trophies stayed south. One was carefully transported north on the Enterprise this afternoon.

Hi Stuart
It was lovely to meet you on Saturday - although I have to admit that I didn't remember it until I saw the pic! I think at that stage quite a few pints of Guinness had been consumed. But the picture brought it all back!
It was great that you were able to come down and join us, and hope to see you again soon :)

Profound apologies to Sharon and respect to The Voyage. I clocked the accent but didn't make the connection. Too many refreshing drinks, perhaps.
I'd like a re-run of the night, and the chance to talk to more people and to get more sense out of it. But it was a swell occasion. Some other time, eh?

Stuart, I've been saying that every year. Though i've met more people each year - just never enough. Glad you made it and enjoyed it.
