The annual Record Of The Day Awards take place in London next week, next Tuesday, at PUNK on Soho Street. This, of course, is the annual awards recognising excellence in music journalism and music PR, of which there is lots, honest. As well as the practitoner voted awards there will be three outstanding contribution awards, which will go to Mark Ellen and David Hepworth of Word magazine for Contribution To Music Journalism, Roger Sargent for Contribution To Music Photography and Bernard Doherty of LD Publicity for Contribution To Music PR.
Commenting on the awards, ROTD MD Paul Scaife told CMU: "The main aim of the Record of the Day Awards is simple: to celebrate great music writers, great music magazines, and also give a deserved pat on the back to the music PR's and label staff that we journalists rely on day-in-day-out".
