Indy Music Awards set to reward London's unsung heroes
- Artists:
- Various »
The Indy Music Awards ceremony will be honouring top independent venues, promoters and artists at London’s Clapham Grand on May 15.
The new awards scheme is aimed at recognising key players in the grassroots music industry and will include categories for best independent venue and fan of the year, as well as artist awards spanning six different musical genres.
Voting for venues and promoters is now closed, but if you get yo’ web-weary asses over to www.indyawards.co.uk before April 2 you can vote for your fave bands and break the spiralling trend of voter apathy etc etc etc.
The May ceremony will be hosted by Virgin Radio’s Greg Burns and will feature performances from established artists as well as the cream of the UK’S independent talent.
Tickets will be available from 9am on April 2 on the aforementioned website.

No 2bob in the promoters section, no Fox in Lewisham in the venues, but they do list Dirty South. I'm not convinced.

This sounds like one of those pathetic UKbands.net things. "Win the chance to spank-off in front of thousands of industry heads at an exclusive showcase".
The cream of the UK’S independent talent indeed.
isn't that how you spell "indy"
if you're indiana jones, but not indie andy jones?
"The INDY Music Awards Sponsors and Partners will be announced shortly"

...hearts are in the right place but this is just a little bit rubbish isn't it? I shant say who, but I noticed one of the promoters sneaking in a nomination for their own band. Somebody say something about credibility?
