New date and venue announced for the Northamptonshire Local Music Awards

A new time and location has been revealed for the inaugural Northamptonshire Local Music Awards.

The event was due to take place earlier this year at The Deco Theatre, but will now be held at The Charles Bradlaugh in Northampton on Monday, December 12.

More than 2,500 people nominated musicians and venues across 14 categories earlier this year following the launch of the event which organisers hope will become an annual date on the music calendar.

There will also be an Outstanding Contribution To Local Music award which will be decided independently by organisers and made to an individual that has gone above and beyond in support for the music scene within Northamptonshire.The ceremony had originally been due to take place in September but was postponed following the death of the Queen and the subsequent period of national mourning.

The move to the Charles Bradlaugh follows a previously rescheduled date in November.

In a statement, organisers said the venue change was “due to reasons beyond our control” and thanked everyone who has supported the event and staff at The Deco.

The Northamptonshire Local Music Awards at The Charles Bradlaugh will take place from 7.30pm to 10pm.

Tickets are on sale now and cost £10 before fees.
