AIM AWARDS WARM UP SHOWS WITH BBC 6 MUSIC // XFM // KERRANG!
The Association of Independent Music are proud to announce a series of gigs throughout London this summer, showcasing the best new talent in the build up to this year’s Independent Music Awards.
The shows arrive ahead of the 5th annual AIM independent Music Awards, which will be held at The Brewery in Clerkenwell on September 8th. Leading the presentation of 16 awards, XFM’s long term champion of new music John Kennedy will host the event alongside Radio 1‘s Alice Levine. Tickets are available from www.musicindie.com/awards
Esteemed members of this year’s AIM Awards judging panel will be curating the anticipated warm-up gigs, with a wealth of emerging talent on offer. The first of these comes from BBC 6 Music’s Camilla Pia who invites the sulky dreams of Kid Wave to headline her night at the Sebright Arms on June 24.
Next up, XFM Head of Music Mike Walsh will feature 21-year-old Irish singer-songwriter Gavin James - already picking up awards and comparisons to Damian Rice and Ray Lamontagne - at the head of his bill on June 30 at The Borderline. While Alex Baker of Kerrang! Radio and Jennyfer J. Walker of Kerrang! Magazine get set to champion Aberdeen three-piece THE XCERTS at Dingwalls on August 26. See the full line-up below:
