With all due respect to the other candidates, Almighty Love is by far the best album on there.

havent really had time to listen to any of these at length, though i usually have a go at trying them all out when the list goes out. there are a few i wouldn't touch there though.

I'm lazy. Is there somwhere I can hear all these albums.

 

[lemonbravo]

Actually, don't think I'd ever heard of Wallis Bird before. 'Double meteor award winner', I'm out of touch it seems.

in my memory she has really nice voice and is kinda quirky trad without making me want to crush her band to a pulp with thier own instruments, which is an achievement. I've only heard maybe two tunes and didn't connect with them. i'll see how my listening to all the records goes though.

When I heard her she was a direct copy of 90s Ani Difranco. Maybe she's gotten a bit more original since.

ireland and 'direct copies' have a long history. I be awful nervous about talking about the subject because it could cause large cognitive dissonance and possibly offence. and its not my job to tell people who they sound like in the sphere of thumped. the probably already know.

Well if it helps, it was a good few years ago and she was fairly young then.

paddy power backing crowley, though not largely polarized in general.

If you got nominated, are you allowed to bet the potential choice prize on yourself?
