The MTV Video Music Awards take place in Los Angeles on August 30 and two guys from Cork will be hoping to pick up the gong for Best Rock Video and Best Direction.
Brendan Canty and Conal Thompson aka Feel Good Lost shot and directed the video for Hozier’s Take Me To Church which is one of the biggest songs of the last 12 months.
