Exciting news … There is a brand new award for 2023 

BEST UK LIVE ACT 

So get thinking about who you have seen live this year, at a festival or a venue across the UK, or both? Who has been touring loads, who blew you mind with their performance  - this is a really exciting new award for our genre and especially important now as we try to bring the live music sector back to life. 

This award will not only been voted by you but also the public  - but only members get to take part in the nomination process.

In the next few days we will be prompting you to do this and we will send over the charting information from the OCC but this is only a guide as not all eligible albums actually charted.

Historically members have been slow to take part in both the nominating and voting process, but this is a really important part of our community and as a paid up member this is your job to help make these awards the best they possibly can be, so please do get involved.
