EP of 2022
Andy Barding from AAA Records announced the final winner today.
“And so we face the final curtain. Our eleventh award of 2022 is for EP of 2022. And it goes to Coach Party for “Nothing Is Real”!
“It’s been a busy year for the Coachies. Amazing, actually, that they found time to release this record in a hectic year of touring all over the freakin’ continent. From cricket grounds and enormous stadia in Paris to a tent in Ventnor and clubs and arenas of the UK, they’ve been getting themselves about and catching up for lost time.
“Next year promises to be even more hectic for them. South By South West in Texas beckons, as does a new record, video, etc. Our advice would be to catch them wherever you can, while you can. And if you don’t have your copy of “Nothing Is Real” yet, pop in and get it from us!”
“Music can change the world”
Well done to everyone who has helped make the Isle of Wight music scene, vibrant, interesting and entertaining this year.
As Ludwig van Beethoven said,
“Music can change the world.”
