It was the International Live Music Conference over there in Kensington last week, and in amongst the festivities the annual Arthur Awards were presented to the great and the good of the live music community.

Says ILMC chief Greg Parmley: “We received thousands of votes worldwide this year, so what began as a tongue-in-cheek affair is clearly now taken far more seriously. This year’s Arthurs were a warm and poignant occasion and The Savoy proved a fantastic setting for another great night”.
