I reckon the following in with a shout. David Holmes,Halfset,
Jape,RSAG,Lisa Hannigan,Chequerboard,The Jimmy Cake,ROL.Japanese Popstars
I thought this year the quality has gone up a notch. Last years winners didnt deserve it more like a student band.
The musicianship on above artists is of a higher quality.
I work in music supervision and as a Dj.

Flinders See Saw Still is a great album. Well worth checking out.

Sorry, somebody must have sent this to their friends or something. Not my (Pádraig, Land Lovers) doing anyway. Morto.
For my money, the best albums have been by the Spook, Michael Knight and So Cow. I’ve yet to grab a few that interest me there though.

I second the Ian Whitty & The Exchange album! Fantastic stuff.
I think my own favourite is Crayonsmith!

How about
Mick Flannery – White Lies
Aaron Dillon – Brown Envelope
Ian Whitty and the Exchange – The Lucky Caller No 9.

3 great albums worthy of mention in any poll for Irish album of the year!
