The NMG Awards 2014 launch

The music awards initiative celebrating the talent and achievements of artists based within 50 miles from Cambridge City Centre returns on October 17th, 2014, and I am pleased to announce that I am on the judging panel for this!

As with last year, there are 12 categories. 11 of these are judged by us and the 12th is a public vote open nearer to awards night.

Below is the long-list of artists, and this long-list of artists also is why Cambridge is going to be one of the best places for new music in the coming months!
