One of the biggest nights in the music calendar, the sold-out awards ceremony honoured achievements across the industry with 25 trophies recognising sync and marketing teams, managers and publishers, to name a few.
Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast won the first award of the night – Grassroots Venue: Spirit Of The Scent. This publicly voted win highlights their contribution to emerging talent development at a time when the importance of grassroots venues is garnering more attention in the media.
PRS for Music were a partner of this year’s Music Week Awards, supporting the prize for Independent Publisher of the Year, won by Young Songs who work with the likes of Arlo Parks, Fred Macpherson and SAMPHA. PRS also supported the Publisher of the Year award won by Warner Chappell and collected by SVP and head of A&R, Amber Davis. This win follows huge success with singer- songwriter members including Dave and Raye.
BBC Radio 1 took home the Radio Station award supported by PPL, reclaiming the title they last won two years ago. Head, Aled Haydn-Jones accepted the award, joined on stage by presenters Mollie King, Jack Saunders and Rickie, Melvin and Charlie. Another former winner, Lauren Laverne, triumphed in the Radio Show category.
Girls Aloud took to the stage to present The Strat trophy to their manager Peter Loraine, recognising his services to pop over the past thirty years, and status as a music industry icon. Peter accepted the award to a room full of applause, concluding, "Tonight is proof that pop music matters."
