Rated Awards presented

By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 8 September 2016

It was GRM Daily’s Rated Awards in London last night celebrating “the best in British urban music”. Fortunately they booked The Roundhouse for the proceedings, in the borough of Camden, rather than a venue in the neighbouring borough of Islington, where fun is now famously outlawed, and anyone seen vaguely enjoying themselves is put in a cardboard box and pissed on. Or something like that.

But with the joy killers of Islington Council denied jurisdiction, a fun time was had by all at the Rated Awards 2016, and especially this little lot, aka the winners…
