The Fly launches awards
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 5 November 2013
The Fly is to host its inaugural awards do, the plainly-titled Fly Awards, on 6 Feb next year at London’s Kentish Town Forum. The monthly mag, which marks its fifteenth year as a national circular in 2014, will partner with the War Child charity and Xfm for the prize-giving event, also putting on a number shows around the time of the awards, one of which (at Liverpool’s EVAC on 2 Feb) will star Foals.
JJ Dunning, editor of The Fly, introduces it thus: “We want The Fly Awards to recognise credible artists. There are too many awards ceremonies that mean too little. Ours will celebrate the mould-breakers; the influencers, risk-takers and true originals whose innovation makes modern music so exciting. [Meanwhile] the awards shows are a thank you to readers across the country. Your appetite for our magazine is insatiable, and we want to show you our gratitude”.
