London-based radio programme The Irish Jam and Irish Film London have announced the nominations for the second annual Best Irish Music Video category at the Irish Film London Awards. The inaugural award was won by Bob Gallagher for Pillow Queen’s Favourite. Gallagher is nominated twice this year.
“We’re delighted to be teaming up with our friends at Irish Film London again to put this award on. This year we encouraged people to submit music videos to be considered for the award and we were absolutely inundated with entries. The Irish music industry is probably the healthiest it’s ever been and, just like the music coming out of Ireland right now, the videos reflected numerous different genres and styles. It was inspiring to see so much creativity on display. It wasn’t easy to select the final five.” said The Irish Jam founder Kealan Duignan, on the announcement of this year’s shortlist
“Kealan and The Irish Jam team really have their finger on the pulse of the contemporary Irish music scene and do an incredible job of showcasing the best of it for London audiences. It’s a pleasure to receive their shortlist each year, and I’m looking forward to announcing the winner!” add Irish Film London Director Kelly O’Connor.
The Irish Film London Awards takes place at the Embassy of Ireland on Tuesday 12th November. The 9th Irish Film Festival London, commences the following Wednesday 20th at Regent Street Cinema, London.
