Breakspoll 2012 Nominations!
It’s amazing isn’t it. You look back at the year 2011, and you think “meh, not a lot of good stuff!”, but then you need to vote for your favourites, and all of a sudden you remember gem after gem of fantastic music and brilliant artists. Adding up all of your votes has given us a massive memory jog, and now, producing the creme de la creme of the breaks scene in the Breakspoll 2012 nominations feels rather special!!
Read on below to see if your favourites made the cut – and if you want to see the winners be announced live, come on down to Cable on Saturday 25th February to see the awards being presented – advanced tickets have sold out, but there will be plenty on the door available.
