Irish Music Association Awards - The Videos
The 2nd Annual Irish Music Association Awards, those for the year 2009, took place on Wednesday gone, January 27, 2010, at O’Malley’s 1842 Irish Pub in Weston, Missouri.
And luckily for you, Pete Maher of the Midwest Irish Focus was on hand to shoot some videos of the night’s performances.
Pete has posted videos of the following performers over on the Irish Focus‘ official blog:
- Michael Coakley (Irish Tenor)
- John Whelan (”Best Button Accordionist”)
- Tim Britton (Uilleann Piper)
- Darren Raleigh (Harpist)
- Wild Colonial Bhoys (”Best Pub Duo”)
- Quinn Patrick O’Malley (Fiddler, 7-yr-old)
There are also a couple of more videos of the Wild Colonial Bhoys, and all of these videos, along with videos of the recent Winter Storm in KC and the St. Louis Irish Arts Christmas Concert 2009, can be viewed on Pete Maher’s video channel on YouTube

Nominations for the 2010 will open the day after St Patrick’s Day - on March 18, 2010. Note that if an artist received an award for 2009 they may not be nominated in the same category for 2010.
