Had a fantastic afternoon celebrating Proper Music Distribution receiving @TheQueensAwards. It was an honour to welcome The Lady Colgrain to our ceremony, and a real testament to the dedication of every single person who works at @ProperMusicGrp!
I spoke to @Skynews about vinyl sales eclipsing CDs for the first time in 35 years. It’s time we stopped thinking of music fans being either physical or digital consumers – they are both!
Some truly well-deserved wins at the @MOBOAwards last night! I’m especially grateful to have worked on @knucks’ Alpha Pace, and since working on @LittleSimz’ debut it's been a pleasure to witness her incredible rise. A massive congrats to both of them!
A #MOBOAwards FIRST for this category... 💫 It’s a tie!
Congratulations to BOTH @LittleSimz & @knucks for winning Album Of The Year for 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert' and 'Alpha Place' 🎶 ✨
#MOBOAwards in association with @LucozadeEnergy 🔥
A really insightful report from @IFPI_org. It's interesting to note that 12% of the respondents have purchased a CD in the last month, compared to 8% who purchased vinyl, with the top reason to collect vinyl being a desire to own music physically!

Delighted to attend @TheAMAUK Awards nominations launch at @OmearaLondon on Tuesday. Always a joy to celebrate the many strands of Americana and catch great performances by @nativeharrow and @treetopflyers.
So pleased to see Little Simz win the Mercury Prize. Having worked on her debut album, it's been an absolute delight to follow her impressive rise over the last few years. A huge congratulations to her and the team, so well-deserved!
We are deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Paul Sartin. A brilliant musician and all-round wonderful human being, working with Paul was always a joy. Our condolences to his family, bandmates and friends. He will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts are with the nation as all of us send our condolences to the Royal Family. We feel especially honoured to have received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise this year, and will remember Her Majesty for her incredible commitment to the country over the past 70 years.
The doors are open and people are getting their hands on some of the exclusive releases.
Which record shop have you gone to and which record do you want to get hold of?

Great read from @MusicWeek as the music biz, including our Pat Howe, weigh in on Saturday’s upcoming @AlbumDayUK. It’s lovely to celebrate such an important format, especially with physical albums continuing to play such a vital role in chart success.

Looking forward to tuning in tonight with the rest of the @ProperMusicGrp team to celebrate the incredible successes of the independent community at this year’s @AIMAwards!
Congratulations to @GerryCinnamon whose sophomore album The Bonny has shot straight to #1 in both the UK and Ireland. Our first #1 @ProperMusicGrp. A huge well done to Gerry and everyone at @LitLRunawayRcds and @AWAL!
Amidst growing rumours that Amazon have halted vinyl and CD shipments, I spoke with @murraystassen at @musicbizworld to explain that our experience at @ProperMusicGrp is quite the opposite! https://t.co/xU20sBiWnz
New figures from @BPI_music shows physical music still accounts for over 20% of the UK’s record label trade income. With your favourite artists needing your support more than ever, please do what you can to support record retailers & the creative community in these testing times
Vangel Vlaski, part of our label management team, will be at AmericanaFestUK tomorrow discussing what you need in a team to take your career to the next level. The panel, called What Next? Beyond DIY, takes place at Hackney Empire from midday. #amauk20
Physical sales continue to rule the @officialcharts as @robbiewilliams scores his 13th solo No.1 record, marking the 12th week in a row that records have been carried to No.1 selling a majority of CDs and vinyl!
