The 2017 Music Week Awards in association with Amazon Music are almost upon us. Taking place on April 5 at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, with the after party at Tape, the prestigious event is the UK's only music awards that recognise labels, publishing, live, retail, A&R, radio, marketing and PR.
