“The diversity of the video entries has been incredible,” said Grace Mercer, Competition Organizer. “Bands have entered from across North America, Ireland and the UK with some famous names in there and even a multi-talented group who appeared on America’s Got Talent who play violins and Irish dance at the same time!”
Everyone has their favorite act and we are very pleased to announce that it is finally time to place your vote. Voting lines are open for one week only from Monday 23rd November until 30th November 2009, with the top five finalists being announced on 1st December 2009.
