'First of its kind' Northern music awards launching at landmark Factory International venue
A new awards ceremony celebrating the the breadth of musical talent across the North of England has been announced.
Awards categories at this year's awards range from Newcomer of the Year to Artist of the Year, Band of the Year, DJ of the Year, Maverick in Music, and the Northern Music Award. A special Music and Culture for Wellbeing award will spotlight the ''outstanding and innovative' creative arts provision in the North, which uses music and culture to support and connect with people who face health, wellbeing and socio-economic challenges.
The new Greater Manchester centre based in Salford, will be a multi-disciplinary music making and therapy space, and will house a high spec recording studio with interactive, accessible music technology, serving the needs of individuals and Northern communities. "Music therapy is the act of supporting people to connect and communicate through music who otherwise are unable to; such as those living with autism to dementia, learning difficulties to brain injuries, life-limiting illnesses to mental health issues, grief and trauma. We believe that everyone who needs it should have access to music therapy, because it can, quite simply, transform people’s lives.
The 2023 Northern Music Awards will also be supported by Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, and City of Salford Mayor, Paul Dennett.
