AIM Independent Music Awards Return For 2012

The AIM Independent Music Awards will this year take place at the Brewery in Clerkenwell on 29th October. Hosted by Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens, they aim to cast ‘a spotlight on the plethora of talent in the independent sector.’

Chairman and CEO of AIM, Alison Wenham commented: ‘The first AIM Awards (2011) was a fantastic event for the artists and companies whose hard work was finally recognised by their peers. We hope that as the awards show grows in size and stature, the wider industry will take note of the unique contribution the indie sector makes to the quality and diversity of the British Music Industry.’

Fifteen awards will be presented, including Independent Breakthrough of the Year, Best Small Label, Best Live Act and Outstanding Contribution to Music, previously awarded to Bjork. The winners are voted for by an expert panel of judges from across the music industry.
