Villagers Pick Up IMRO No.1 Award for {Awayland}
Conor from Villagers popped into IMRO today to pick up an IMRO No.1 Award in recognition of their album, {Awayland}, reaching the top spot in the Irish album charts earlier this year.
It’s been a busy year for Villagers since {Awayland} was released back in January, with tours throughout the UK, Europe, North America and Japan, as well as a nomination for the Mercury Prize in between.
Now Villagers are home for some end of year gigs throughout Ireland over the next couple of weeks.
Conor is pictured here picking up his award with Keith Johnson and Victor Finn of IMRO.
You can catch one of Villagers’ live shows at:
BELFAST 12 Dec Limelight (with Amidships)

The IMRO No.1 Award was established to recognise the achievement of artists reaching the number 1 spot in the Irish Album and Independent Album charts. Previous recipients have included Heathers, The Coronas and Little Green Cars among others.
