So, that there Association Of Independent Music that you all like so much hosted its annual gong-giving shindig in London last night and a fun time was had by all.
Though obviously, on leaving the venue anyone crossing the road immediately entered Islington Council’s jurisdiction, where fun is famously outlawed, so we assume everyone remembered to have an utterly miserable walk home.
But still, on the fun side of Chiswell Street everyone had a lovely time, and especially this little lot, aka the winners…
