t was a day to remember. Returning to The Brewery venue in London, Music Week’s annual Women In Music was a sell-out as over 700 hundred music biz high-flyers and artists gathered to salute the achievements of this year’s winners. The event was staged in partnership with UK Music and AIM, whose founder Alison Wenham returned to speak at this year’s ceremony.
The Brewery was full of top names from across the business, ranging from Emily Eavis and Annie Mac, to Tiffany Calver and Radha Medar. And that’s not to mention the people who were part of proceedings in a host of funny, poignant and moving video tributes, such as Stormzy, Mabel, Anne-Marie, Jess Glynne, Simon Cowell and Sony’s Rob Stringer.
The ceremony saw a host of memorable speeches, with Music Creative winner Camille ‘Kamille’ Purcell raising the roof by admitting that she had prepared notes on her phone, only to lose it. Elsewhere, Emily Eavis and Annie Mac delivered powerful rallying cries for festival line-ups to achieve a 50/50 split. Meanwhile, Businesswoman Of The Year Radha Medar said: “I’m living proof that things are moving in the right direction”.
As well as the 10 awards, a dozen executives from across the industry – labels, media, live, management, publishing and trade bodies – were inducted onto the Women In Music Roll Of Honour. The full list of honourees for 2019 – who join a group of 72 star execs – is below. So, without further ado, let’s celebrate all of this year’s winners and inductees and relive the words of wisdom they had to impart...
