The UK Country Music Awards, the annual celebration of the best in British and Irish country music, are set to return in 2023 with a launch night on Sunday, 23 Apr 2023 at the Red Lion Inn & Motel, York.
The event will feature live performances from some of the nominees and previous winners including the Heartland Roots Band, Dave Sutherland and Liz Clarke.
The UK Country Music Awards are organised by UKCountryRadio.com, the online radio station dedicated to country music from the UK and beyond. The winners will be revealed at a gala ceremony later in the year.
The awards aim to recognise and support the talent and diversity of country music artists in the UK and Ireland, who are often overlooked by the mainstream media and industry. The awards also help to raise the profile of country music in the UK and attract new audiences to the genre.
The UK Country Music Awards are part of a growing scene of country music events and festivals in the UK, such as Country 2 Country (C2C), The Long Road, The British Country Music Festival and Nashville Meets London. Country music is also gaining popularity on streaming platforms and radio stations, with artists like Luke Combs, Lady A, Zac Brown Band and Breland making waves on both sides of the Atlantic.
The UK Country Music Awards are a unique opportunity to celebrate and support the homegrown talent that is pushing the boundaries of Americana and country music in the UK and Ireland. For more information and to book tickets, visit UKCountryMusicAwards.com.
