David Cox & Carl Baldwin
Sep 4, 2022
And so that is it for another year. A lovely Scottish meal of Salmon followed by Cranachan (complete with little Scottie shortbread) was consumed and the 15 DarkChat Awards for 2022 were presented.
The big winners of the night were " A War Of Two Halves" with 5 wins though congratulations go out to all the winners and nominees. At DarkChat there are no winners and losers, literally no winners and losers as there are definitely no physical prizes or cash bonuses!
And it is time for the DarkChat team to hibernate until January when the first 2023 shows are announced and we can begin to get excited all over again.
Until then.
