Northern Music Awards
The one and only major awards show celebrating the best of music from the North
The Northern Music Awards (NMAs) is the one and only major awards show celebrating the best of music from the North.
As Britain’s leading music charity, Nordoff and Robbins is turning up the volume with some of the biggest stars and rising talent that belongs to the North of England. All to raise vital funds to bring more music therapy to the North of England, and improve the health and wellbeing of local people.
We are Nordoff and Robbins. We are music. And this is the Northern Music Awards.
Highlights from our 2025 event
Together at the Northern Music Awards 2025 in Liverpool, we celebrated some of the biggest stars and rising talent of the North of England. All in support of our work, helping us to bring the transformative power of music therapy to communities in the North of England.

The money we raise together at our events helps people like Samir
After fleeing his home country, Samir was completely alone when he arrived in the UK.
Attending Music therapy at Asylum Link Merseyside helped re-build his confidence, improved his mental health, and helped him to be part of the local music community.
