The recurring message running through the Northern Music Awards on Tuesday night was clear: we do things differently here in the north and always have done.
Tim Burgess, of the Charlatans, took home the Northern Music Award and said he felt it was about time that events like these were not just celebrated in the capital. “I think lots of stuff goes on in London but this is the Northern Music Awards so why not ,” Tim, originally from Salford, told the M.E.N. “It’s not all just about London. Everyone knows the north is brilliant but it’s just about bringing more stuff back to the city.
Speaking about the Best DJ category nominees, which included Djinn, Paige Tomlinson and DJ Woody, DJ Paulette added: “Really, what I’ve seen is that it’s representing a lot of women which is super, super important. I am super proud to represent for Manchester, for Black Manchester, for every moment of my life.”
27-year-old Michael Adex, who runs the NQ talent agency and represents superstars like Aitch, won the Industry icon which was handed over to him by his sister, Faith. The Northern Icon award was presented by Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and handed to Rochdale-based Lisa Stansfield. Discussing the charity on stage, Lisa added: “They really do teach people that music is like magic, it’s magic. And it can do things that not a lot of other things can do, so thank you so much for thinking my music’s like that.”
