The Andover Music Awards are already looking ahead to 2027 after headline sponsor Perfect Bore Manufacturing confirmed its continued support less than 48 hours after the town’s first-ever awards ceremony.
The announcement comes following the success of the inaugural Andover Music Awards, held at The Lights on Tuesday 13 October, which brought together musicians, bands, performers, businesses and music lovers to celebrate the incredible talent across Andover and the surrounding area.
With an impressive 460 nominations received ahead of the event, the awards highlighted the strength and diversity of the local music scene, recognising achievements across a wide range of categories.
Perfect Bore Manufacturing, which proudly supported the first awards as headline sponsor, has wasted no time in committing to the event’s future, confirming that it will once again support the Andover Music Awards in 2027.
The early commitment is a significant vote of confidence in the awards and demonstrates the importance of local businesses supporting community initiatives that celebrate creativity, talent and achievement.
The inaugural ceremony saw awards presented to established performers, emerging artists, young musicians, bands and community groups, with one of the evening’s highlights being the presentation of the Contribution to Music Award to Chris Britton of legendary Andover band The Troggs.
Live performances throughout the evening added to the celebrations, making it a memorable occasion for those attending.
Organised by the team behind Andover Radio and Love Andover, the awards were created to recognise and celebrate the wealth of musical talent within the local community, while providing a platform for artists and performers who contribute to Andover’s thriving music scene.
The continued backing of Perfect Bore Manufacturing provides an encouraging foundation for the second year of the awards, with organisers hoping to build on the success of the inaugural ceremony and make the 2027 event even bigger.
The organisers have expressed their gratitude to Perfect Bore Manufacturing for its belief in the awards from the very beginning and for making such an early commitment to their future.
While the celebrations from the first awards are still fresh in everyone’s minds, the confirmation means that planning for the Andover Music Awards 2027 can already begin with the support of its headline sponsor secured.
Further details about the 2027 ceremony, including the date, venue and nomination process, will be announced in due course.
