Many thanks to all who attended Yuck ‘n Yum’s inaugural AGK. Special thanks go to all the video makers and performers, because without them there would be no karaoke. We’d just have an AG and that would be no good whatsoever. An ultra special gold-plated THANK YOU in big shiny capital letters to our sponsors: Central Station, Huntly Hairst, Hannah Maclure Centre, The Skinny, MAP magazine and Electric Circus.

For those losers who did not attend, now’s your chance to pretend you did by viewing the winning videos. A complete selection will follow in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

The videos were judged by representatives from Central Station Hannah Maclure and Yuck ‘n Yum.

The top prize for best video and the title of 2010 AGK champ went to Rachel Maclean. She won £300 and a mini residency at the Hannah Maclure Centre performance and cinema space for her supercool video I’m Your Biggest Fan (Paparazzi).

“I’m Your Biggest Fan sucks the viewer into a morphing toy town, a sexy sugary space which reinterprets ‘Lady Gaga’s’ hit ‘Paparazzi’. Alluding to the recent internet scandal questioning her gender.”

Runner up prize for best video went to Andy Sim for his ‘Debaser’ which featured a unique take on the pixies classic with his band Fear Wasabi. He walked away with a 2 year subscription to MAP magazine.

“We’ve made you a movie and we want you to know, we’re sewing up eye balls, we’re seeing the words we’re (not the Pixies) fitting our dogs with lasers, don’t know about you but we are debasers.”

The Yuck ‘n Yum team judged the best performance on the night to be The Deliberate Crumbs who enchanted the audience with their moving and heartfelt ode to the tribulations of allotment management for elderly characters. Sinead Bracken was runner up in the performance category she stole the hearts of the audience dressed as Milky the Milk Carton.

The AGK was describe variously as being “best night out by far in ages. made me glad to be in Dundee :D”, “twas rad so it was” and also “strangely erotic”.

Discussion has already begun on the 2011 agenda.
