Awards Business News Marketing & PR Media Top Stories
Record Of The Day awards presented
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 24 November 2011
So the great and the good of music journalism and music PR amassed in Shoreditch last night for their annual pre-Christmas back slapping fest, aka The Record Of The Day Awards, with Huw Stephens doing a particularly fine job at being heard above the throng of hacks and publicists, who were as rowdy as ever.
The very fine people of 4AD and Purple PR both took home two prizes each, while on the media side The Guardian also got two awards, including the customary Best Record Reviewer trophy for Alexis Petridis.
Meanwhile student journalist Adam Bychawski from the University Of York was presented with the CMU supported Best Student Music Writer Award, while The 405 and Popjustice’s Peter Robinson were revealed to have been the most popular publication and writer respectively in CMU’s annual survey of student journalists and influential campus-based music fans. So well done to all of them too.
