LISTEN WITH MONGER AWARD NOMINEES 2022
Well, 2022 eh? Listen With Monger turner 10, the Queen died, we had a Christmas World Cup, the Tories all seemingly tried (and failed) to lead the country and then some of them ran off to the jungle. Everything got more expensive and, worst of all, Putin decided to have a massive mid-life crisis at the cost of Ukraine’s freedom. Nevertheless, the music keeps coming and I, for one, am hugely grateful for that sanctuary in a storm. Anyway, before I go and get all maudlin on you, here are the category nominations for 2022. As always, the only two rules are that the artists need to have featured on Listen With Monger in 2022 and nobody can win the same award twice (which made some of this year's choices a lot harder, I might add). So, let’s crack on, shall we?
