MPG Award 2021 nominations out
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 14 December 2020
The UK’s Music Producers Guild has announced the shortlists for its 2021 awards, even though those gongs won’t be handed out until June, the annual event having been pushed back next year because of COVID.
Commenting on this year’s shortlists, Tony Platt, MD of MPG Awards, says: “In spite of the current situation we were delighted to find an increased engagement with both the submissions process and the voting, resulting in a very varied shortlist”.
“Music has been a lifeline for many during the dark days of lockdown”, he goes on, “and the resilience of our music makers finding innovative ways to keep music alive deserves to be recognised across the board. We are looking forward to a fabulous event in June when we will hopefully be celebrating the start of a return to some kind of normality. Keep safe”.
