We are thrilled to announce that Niamh's "Deoraiocht an tSaighdiura" track from
her debut album, has been nominated in the 2009 JUST PLAIN FOLKS MUSIC AWARDS.
The nominees which were announced today were chosen from over 560,000 songs,
submitted from various sources including CD Baby, and the gruelling selection
process took a total of 14 months.

Niamh is nominated along with 19 others in the "Celtic Instrumental Song
Category" which the organizers define as both traditional and contemporary
original Celtic Music. The awards are organised by Just Plain Folks Music
Organization, the world's largest grassroots music organization, and are the
largest of any kind in the world. Due to the sheer volume of music considered,
the awards are only issued every 2 years, and will take place this year in
America's music capital, Nashville, in August.
