Dorset Music Awards – semi-finalists announced!

03.15.2010 · Posted in News by Tony Foster

Well, all votes are in, they’ve been counted and verified and the results are out. Numbers have been whittled down from twenty to twelve, all of who will be competing at Mr Kyps in two semi-finals on Sat 3 and Sat 10 April.

This year’s Dorset Music Awards is generating tidal-sized waves of support. Say what you like about music ‘competitions’ and the like… the vast majority of bands and punters love ‘em. Well, this one anyway. It’s attracting loads of interest and focus on the local scene, it encourages bands to promote themselves and brings out the best performances.

Enough of that. Who made it through? Unlike last year with the likes of Otto and The Goodfoot there’s a clear lack of funk and soul, and rather surprisingly without Dubheart and Dusty Cuts getting through a lack of ska, dub and reggae too…

Enough of that! Who made it through!?

Bel Casino, Disco’s Out (Murder’s In), Lady Winwoods Maggot, The Longest Day, Mischa, Mutant Vinyl, The Neon Tigers, The Other Half, Sarah Griffin, Stop Go Sixty, Strangers and Madmen and The Sval Bards.

All the info you need on the bands and future events can be found on the DMA website.
