Alongside the awards ceremony runs AIM's Labelled With Love festival, promoted by gigging demons Club Fandango in partnership with Xfm, DIY and 7digital, whereby a slew of those enterprising independent record companies prise their prize assets out of the pub to perform at a string of label-themed events throughout the month.
Fire, Bella Union, Kissability, Gringo, Fortuna Pop!, Tape, Tigertrap, Freshly Squeezed, Debt, Disrupt and Tiny Dog are just some of those labels labelling their love over at www.clubfandango.co.uk/news and on September 4th Label Fandango will be spreading their love at the Lexington, rather like this...

LONGFELLOW (onstage 8.45pm) were graduates of the Label Fandango school of singles in February this year with the Lamacq-endorsed heroics of 'Siamese Lover'. Fresh from a sell-out tour with Hall & Oates, replica U boatand even fresher from their own sold out summertime show at the Sebright Arms, Crystal Palace's finest exponents of glittering alt.pop.rock continue down the promotional trail for their cheerily lachrymose 'Prelude' mini-album, out now on fierce panda.
THE TRAPS (onstage 8.00pm) sailed with the Label Fandango crew in the spring of 2014 with the towering double aa-side antics of 'My Grip' / 'Imposter'.
