Cambridge music scene the winner at first NMG Awards

Music and SpiesNewmarket-based Lewis Mokler, folk group Fred’s House and Cambridge urban band Goldstar were among the winners at the inaugural Cambridge 105 NMG Awards last night (October 24th).

The NMG Awards were launched to recognise the talent of the local music scene in Cambridge and surrounding towns and villages across all music genres and ages.

Close to 200 people attended the evening at The Portland Arms, which was sponsored by Half Ton Studios and Greg’s Greats.

Best Male Solo Artist was awarded to Lewis Mokler, the Newmarket singer-songwriter recently signed to Le Good Soldier Songs, owned by Warner UK CEO Christian Tattersfield.

Best Female Artist was Melody Causton, whose song Ribbons and Letters tells of her mother’s aguish at losing touch with her brother 20 years ago.

The Pride of Cambridge Award, given to an artist that was beginning to break onto the national stage, went to folk roots family band The Willows.

Best Urban Dance Artist was Goldstar, while Motor Tapes were the winners of the Best Pop Group.

Fred’s House scooped both the audience choice award, voted for by Cambridge 105 listeners, and Best Folk Artist.

There were also live performances from many of the artists present including Grace Sarah, The Cogo, The Floe, Lewis Mokler, Fred’s House and Horse Party.

Securing the future of Community Radio

Cambridge Radio is the Community broadcaster for Cambridge and South Cambs.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
