Inaugural LIVE Awards takes place in London
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 15 December 2022
The very first LIVE Awards took place earlier this week, handing out prizes to UK venues, festivals and other live music firms that have done some real nice stuff in the last twelve months. Sweet.
“The inaugural LIVE Awards was a truly excellent evening which gave us the opportunity to recognise and reward those who have really raised the bar in 2022”, says Jon Collins, CEO of live industry trade body LIVE, which organised the whole thing.
“The hangover from the effect of COVID, cost-of-living crisis and rapidly rising costs have not stopped our industry from delivering memorable occasions to people in record numbers”, he continued. “The LIVE Awards reflect the breadth of talent across all parts of our industry – from classical to grime, baroque to rock, the LIVE Awards recognises excellence in the field and at the venue”.
