Vote for them all!

Wow that's going to be tough voting. Because our girls are up against each other.

How about all of them win hands down. LOL  It would be so much easier.

[Music Girl]

It's really hard to make a choice. 
I hope I can vote more than once then.

[MaryNorth93]

I hope I can vote more than once then.

I hope that too. Seriously, I can't choose between Méav or Máiréad... or Lisa, Lynn & Deirdre. Luckily Órlagh, The High kings and Celtic Woman are 'solo' in their categories.

Cora Smyth is up for Top Fiddle. She was in Riverdance with Mairead and this is a great video of the 2 of them:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywMPtwM8avs&feature=rec-r2-sdig&et=1241053232.42

"She was in Riverdance with Mairead"

They were in Lord of the Dance together, but still Cora is a fine fiddle player indeed. Mind you I'll be voting for Martin Hayes.
Now Eileen Ivers is nominated too. She was in Riverdance with Des Moore and Eoghan O'Neill too. I think David Downes may have been in the show then too...

WF.

Where do we vote?

I believe you need to join their forum as a free member at http://www.irishmusicassociation.com/phpBB3/index.php. Don't worry - they won't spam you or send you any unwanted emails.  Once you've joined, you'll see a board titled "2010 Irish Music Awards Public Voting." Each award category is in a separate thread in that board.

Irish Music Award Voting:
To vote you have to register YOU HAVE A CHOICE FREE MEMBER OR PAID MEMBER. 
All you have to do to vote in the free member section is register with them.  You Will Not Get Spam from them. Once you register you can vote in the free member section.  It dose take sometime to get it set up so if it dose not work right off try again later or at the least a day later sould do.

If you also want to vote in the paid member section you have to pay the membership dues. There are differnt types of memberships choose the one you want then pay your dues.  I think it takes a day or two to set your membership up.  Once your account is set up you can vote in the paid member area.

Now that you are a paid member you can vote twice once in the free member area and once in the paid member area.  The paid member votes are weighted aganist the free member vote so your vote counts for more in the paid area when they do the final tally. So if it is close that paid vote may put the individual you want to win over the top.

Good luck and have fun there are some very tough choices to make.

   Maggie,  do you have any recommendations/insights for us in voting in the categories where the nominees have no Celtic Woman/High Kings connections?
