Hard Dance Awards 2005 – Line-Up Announced

 

The 2005 Hard Dance Awards is barely out of its starting blocks and already thousands of votes have been cast by Hard Dance Fans from all over the world.

 

Tickets are already selling on www.ticketweb.co.uk for the ceremony on 11th February 2006 at The Fridge, in London. Lee Bridle, owner of Most Wanted Events has been overwhelmed:

 

“I have been promoting events like Extreme Euphoria and Twisted for nearly 10 years and I have never seen tickets sell for an event the other side of Xmas and NYE – it’s unheard of!”

 

Such is the demand the Hard Dance Awards team has decided to announce the names of the hard dance high achievers ahead of schedule. Leading the charge will be The Tidy Boys and BK who will be supported by Nu Energy Collective Live, Paul Glazby, Amber D, Andy Whitby, Organ Donors, Danny D and Phil York. All the artists have been hand picked to represent a cross-section of the genre and the players within it. Together they’ll form an incredible powerhouse of explosive music, experience and personality.

 

Returning once again to host and announce the winners and top-runners will be London’s unofficial party monster Ed Real, and the very official Queen of the Clubs Ms. Anne Savage. Both of whom will also be gracing the decks on the night to present the ultimate hard dance line-up any of us can remember!

 

Ed Real enthuses; ‘each year the hard dance awards has become bigger and I'm really looking forward to utilising the theatre layout of The Fridge to full effect - expect camera's, lights and plenty of action!’

 

Anne adds; ‘I can’t wait. It will be my third time presenting the awards, and it’s always an amazing night with good music, an incredible vibe and a chance for a bit of ‘get together’ with lots of industry pals.’

 

Voting is easy; just visit www.harddanceawards.com and pick your favourites from the 16 categories. Don’t forget; everyone casting their votes will be entered into a draw that could win you a fabulous Denon DN-S1000 CD/MP3 CD Deck.
