Meteor Choice Music Prize Nominees – Hozier

Vote now for Meteor Irish song of the Year

Over the next month or so I'll be giving you two handfuls of quirky reasons as to why each of the nominees for the METEOR CHOICE MUSIC PRIZE SONG OF THE YEAR should be getting your vote. Next on the list of nominees is Wicklow native Andrew Hozier Byrne.

You can vote for Hozier's Take Me To Church to be song of the year by clicking on the above link. But first here are our reasons why you need to consider giving him your vote to pick up the prize on February 27th...

Because...could this win song of the year?

Because he was one of our 52 men for 2014..

Because he's got a cool name..

Because he was Lead Singer of the Trinity Orchestra, fronting their missions into the world of classic rock...

Because the video for Take Me To Church references the repression of gay people in Russia through a personal story of two gay lovers subjected to violence...hard hitting stuff

Because he's just as good live as seen below..

Because he was born on St. Patricks Day, a true contender to help drive the snakes out again upon their inevitable return to these shores..

Because he recorded 'Cherry Wine' live at 6am on an abandoned hotel rooftop..

Because you can follow him on Twitter here... @Hozier
