The A&R Awards 2022: All The Winners

The A&R awards are the biggest and best in the music industry. Held every year, they are the most prestigious awards ceremony of their kind. Each winning band or artist receives a statue of Alfred Nobel as a result.

Well, that was a bit special. The A&R Awards, MBW’s UK-focused annual awards ceremony in association with Abbey Road Studios, took place yesterday evening (November 8) in central London. As we announced earlier this week, the A&R Icon Award – recognizes a career’s work that has forever changed the face of the music business
