The AIM Independent Music Awards Ceremony, hosted by BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq and Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, will be held at Floridita in Soho, London on Thursday 10th November.
In what will be the first ever AIM Independent Music Awards, organisers will be recognising and celebrating the artists, labels, companies and individuals involved in the thriving independent music sector that Britain knows and loves.
Hosted by BBC 6 Music stalwart Steve Lamacq and Radio 1’s champion of new music, Huw Stephens, the ceremony will feature performances from renowned independent artists and will see 14 awards presented to the great and good of the independent music world.
For the AIM Independent Music Awards it’s not just about big sales and high profile campaigns, it’s about recognising the success of all levels of act, genre and label and commending the real heroes of music that do things their own way making phenomenal music that entertains AND inspires.
Just last month, UK independent labels celebrated a first by securing four albums in the Top 10 chart for four weeks in a row so with 2011 fast becoming the year of the indie, it is only fitting that they now have their very own awards ceremony.
Chairman and CEO of AIM, Alison Wenham, explains: “AIM has spent 10 years focused on helping independent music to make the most of its huge creative assets, first in the UK and lately worldwide.
“We were always looking outward and upward. Now with the confidence which comes from our genuine and measurable achievements in the independent sector, we want to celebrate, in a distinct and indie fashion.”
The different categories include Best Small Label, Best Live Band, Hardest Working Band/Artist and Indie Champion among many others. If you’re into independent music, the award ceremony is a must-see event.
