APRA NOMINEES

We have been a little amiss in our failure to so far report on the nominations for this year’s APRA Awards. But we’re here to make amends. Bliss 'N' Eso will be celebrating their two nominations in the same category (Urban Work Of The Year), while the Potbelleez are also up against themselves in the category of 'Dance Work Of The Year'. The 2009 gongs are to be handed out at the annual event on June 23 at the Peninsula in Melbourne, with the ceremony screening on pay-TV channel MAX on July 05 at 8:30pm.
