Fantastic four for Glasgowbury at Irish Festival Awards

Glasgowbury left Dublin with a massive haul of four Irish Festival Awards last week, including the coveted Best Line-Up title.

The Small But Massive festival was in the running for five awards against some of the premier Irish festivals at the ceremony, and were delighted to come away with four of the prestigious gongs – the biggest win of the night!

The small but MASSIVE! festival was awarded: Best Small Festival, Best Line-Up, Best Family Festival and Best Service.

Glasgowbury retained the Best Family Festival and Best Service awards from last year and were over the moon to be recognised as Ireland’s best small festival with the best line-up – an award which Oxegen had laid claim to the previous two years.

Festival Organiser Paddy Glasgow said he and his team were over the moon with the festival’s success and praised the supporters for their votes.

“Glasgowbury is entering its tenth year and it’s an honour at this time to be recognised on a national scale for having the Best Small Festival in Ireland as voted for by the festival-goers themselves,” he said.

“When we started back in 2000 we never envisaged that the festival would grow into the mighty ship it is today and it’s testament to the ever-growing strength of the music scene in Northern Ireland that we’ve been able to do what we love to do.

“Retaining the Best Family and Best Service awards from last lear while also becoming the country’s Best Small Festival with the Best Line-up is a massive milestone for the festival to reach.

“Of course we have to thank the people who voted for Glasgowbury and the thousands of people who have attended and supported the festival over the years without who the awards wouldn’t have been a reality.

“With that support we go into the our tenth birthday with our eyes firmly set on the goal of providing another top quality music festival, brimming with memorable and exciting moments for people of all ages to enjoy.”

Glasgowbury 2010, the festival’s tenth anniversary, has been set for Saturday 24th July and the submissions period for aspiring bands and artists remains open until the end of March – for more details, click here.
