Sheffield’s longest standing live music venue is in the limelight after being nominated for one of the UKs most prestigious music awards, following enduring success.

The Leadmill, which celebrates its 31st birthday this year, has been nominated for a Live UK Music Business Award. The award is one of the industry’s most highly esteemed acclamations, the final ceremony for which is due to take place on the 6th October.

Live UK is the only music industry publication focused solely on live music, read by the industry’s most influential people, and the award is an outstanding achievement for one of Sheffield’s most prided music venues.

The nomination, which came from industry peers, is for Best Major Club Venue (800+) Teamwork and comes after The Leadmill won Best Live Music Venue in Sheffield at the Exposed Magazine Awards in February of this year.

Rupert Dell, General Manager of The Leadmill, said “The Leadmill prides itself on hosting some of the music industry’s most commended acts and ensuring each event is run to the highest standard.

We’re incredibly proud and excited to have been nominated for such a prestigious award and so grateful to everyone who supports The Leadmill. We are ecstatic that people enjoy the venue so much and urge anybody who loves us or has been down recently to vote for us.”
