The Indy Music Awards kicked off last year and came back in 2008 with a great new collection of emerging independent artists. The night was one to remember; The Buzzcocks and Starsailor performed and the almighty Mike Rutherford (Genesis/Mike and the Mechanics) presented an award.
Awards went to Best Female Solo Act, Best Male Solo Act, Best Electronic Act, Best Heavy Metal Act and many more. They also gave recognition to some of the most crucial things on the music scene: the fans and the venues.
