AU Magazine and The Oh Yeah Music Centre, with the support of Belfast City Council, Invest NI and the NI Tourist Board, are proud to present the first ever Northern Ireland Music Awards. Voted for by a broad range of stakeholders in NI music, the awards will recognise the diverse and high level of talent that heralds from our corner of the globe. Hosted by MCs Rigsy (BBC Across The Line) and Emma Fitzpatrick (Citybeat), the event will also feature a number of performances from our most prominent Northern Irish acts, including And So I Watch You From Afar, General Fiasco, Stiff Little Fingers and more.
The musical landscape in Northern Ireland is currently enjoying the most fertile and rich period it has ever experienced, with acts from a wide range of genres are enjoying huge success right across the globe. Two Door Cinema Club are selling out shows as far away as Australia, And So I Watch You From Afar are continually rolling their rock juggernaut across continents, and The Japanese Popstars are ripping up massive dance festivals the world over with their storming live set. Add to this the strong heritage from bands such as Snow Patrol, The Undertones, Ash, and Stiff Little Fingers and it is clear that Northern Irish music is riding atop a giant wave of success.
The NIMAs will bring together the established legends of Northern Irish music and the young guns of the scene in an evening of much deserved celebration and recognition. The historic and glorious Ulster Hall is the ideal setting for such a momentous occasion, and there isn’t a better time to shine a light on this part of the world.

Really nice piece on The Belfast Telegraph website.

AU's Jonny Tiernan chats to BBC Radio Foyle's Stephen McCauley about the upcoming awards. It starts from about 16 minutes in.
We'll be giving you a bit more info about each of the performers and nominees over the coming days. But in the meantime, just enjoy this from the mighty And So I Watch You From Afar. A bit of a taster of what to expect on the night! Recorded in Belfast at Start Together Studios by Will McConnell.
