COMING SOON! THE INDY MUSIC AWARDS 2009 The INDY Music Awards uniquely celebrate, recognise, encourage and reward the hard work of festivals, live music venues, their promoters and the very best emerging artists they showcase and help develop, ensuring the grass roots of the UK music industry continues to thrive and prosper and produce the stars and talent of the future. In 2008, 600 UK festivals, venues and promoters nominated over 700 emerging artists, with the awards reaching an estimated audience of 40 million via traditional media, the internet and the televised awards ceremony on Rockworld TV. Many of the participating artists have gone on to be signed by management, agents and record labels (independent and major) and secured higher profile gigs including major festivals as a direct result of their involvement with The INDY Music Awards. Now entering their third year The INDY Music Awards have established themselves as the industry standard for emerging talent and are the only awards scheme to be fully supported by major industry bodies including The Association of Independent Music (AIM) and The Musicians’ Union. UK festivals, venues and promoters call for nominations will be made in January 2009.
