The N Awards 2013 - The Results

I have to say I'm genuinely flattered (and a little bit flabbergasted) by the reception that these N Awards have received by the lovely folk of Northampton - especially considering that they mean, well, absolutely nothing whatsoever. Aren't I selling this well?
 

Anyhow 2013 has been an absolutely incredible year for Northamptonshire music (the best of the past three years I've been doing these awards if you ask me) and all the following bands and artists that both yourselves and I have found worthy of receiving the prestigious honour of an OBE (Order of Bedge's Excellence) truly are the best of the best of the best.

You'll just have to imagine the red carpet and over-indulgent speeches.

The Face Of Northampton: Dave Neurotic

Who wouldn't want to see that face at the very most forefront of this fine town we call Northampton? Something of a local legend, Dave's tracks range from the motivational to the hilarious - he even dedicated a entire song to his barmy hometown. On the regs!

2nd Place: Lea Stonhill

Presenter of the second best local music radio show that has the word Review in the title - The Band Review Show on Inspiration FM. Always worth a listen.


3rd Place: Stephan Stanton



Head of Skin & Bones Records, keyboardist for Knees, Post Cat Core promoter and general local music lover. Take your pick, he's awesome at them all.

Album Of The Year: ACODA - 'Yours To Defend'
