Excitement is building for this year’s INDY Music Awards and organisers have confirmed that top industry names including Mike Rutherford, Starsailor and The Buzzcocks will be joining some of the UK’s hottest independent talent to perform at a Gala Ceremony at London’s Forum on Friday 25th April.

The INDY Music Awards highlight the very best in emerging live music and is the UK’s only awards scheme to fully recognise the venues, promoters and artists that keep the grassroots music scene thriving.

The cream of independent talent from across the UK will be taking to the stage on the night with performances from shortlisted INDY Music Awards artists including Dawn Kinnard, Thee Vicars, Shuffle, Vimala, Little Fish and The Penny Black Remedy.

Performing alongside this incredible wealth of new talent will be indie favourites Starsailor, who are currently recording their fourth album and will be treating fans to a three song set at the ceremony.

Mike Rutherford will take to the stage to present the Gibson Guitar Award for Best Alternative Act. A member of British Rock ‘n’ Roll royalty, Mike was a founding member of Genesis and later front man of Mike & The Mechanics.

Organisers have also introduced a brand new award for this year’s ceremony. The Inspiration Award will be picked up by punk legends The Buzzcocks who will also delight INDY Music Awards fans with what promises to be a fantastic closing performance featuring some of their classic hits.

The fun will go on until the early hours with top London DJ Rusty Egan taking to the decks to ensure that everyone present has a truly memorable evening.

The INDY Music Awards will also be filmed live this year for Rockworld TV. Long time respected champion of new music, Gary Crowley will present the programme which is due to go out on Sky Channel 368 on Monday 5th May.
