new music award shortlist

aroundNorth has been shortlisted for the PRS for Music’s 2010 New Music Award.   Created to recognise and celebrate leading innovators in the UK and provide investment, support and profile for exceptional and pioneering music creators, the award encourages creators to push the boundaries of their artistic practice, extending the possibilities of music regardless of which genre they work in.  It also seeks to raise awareness of the UK’s most innovative music creators in the media and to help them secure the public profile they deserve alongside the UK’s better known creators working in visual arts and media.

aroundNorth is one of the five shortlisted possible winners of the  £50 000 award, the outcome of which will be announced in September 2010.
