Vocal coach couple Carrie and David Grant came and told us all about their prize-giving experience, backstage at the MOBOs 2008.
‘We just did an award for best gospel and we know probably more than anyone else that has given an award tonight what that feels like, when that envelope’s going and you’re just like, “Are they going to say our names?! Are they going to say our names?!”.’
Themselves a winner of the gospel award some years ago, they truly related to what the nominees go through at that crucial moment in the ceremony when they are waiting to see if it is their name being called out.
As David aptly put it, ‘When you’re at an awards ceremony, you really understand the meaning of the saying, “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, as long as you win”.’
