Talking about the ceremony, event organizer Tommy Gardner said: “The night had such a great atmosphere and it was brilliant to see so many members of the local music scene there to celebrate their and of course, other’s achievements.
“I feel very proud we have been able to come together to celebrate the amazing scene we have here in Northamptonshire.”
More than 2,500 people nominated musicians and venues across the categories earlier this year following the launch of the event.
Organizers then revealed a shortlist of candidates in each category before people were allowed to vote for the winners.
Mr Gardner added: “One thing that stood out among the nominees was the huge variety of music genres.
“We are very lucky that we have such a varied range of artists among the scene.”
The Outstanding Contribution To Local Music award, decided independently by the organizers, will be made at a future date.
Turning to the future Mr Gardner said he was hopeful the event would return.
He said: “We are looking into how the event can evolve year on year while being sustainable and supporting the music scene. Watch this space.”
