Glasgowbury founder Paddy Glasgow has been nominated as ‘Promoter Of The Year’ at the UK Festival Awards. The nomination follows the festival’s short-listing in the ‘Best Small Festival’ category.
Upon hearing the news, Paddy Glasgow said: “Hearing that Glasgowbury had been shortlisted in the ‘Best Small Festival’ at the awards was great news for us, to hear that I have been shortlisted in the ‘Promoter Of The Year’ category is frankly unreal!
For a small, not-for-profit business with charitable status based in rural mid-Ulster to be in the same category as some of the biggest UK and European promotions companies is a real shock. We have spent thirteen years promoting new music here and now we are in the same category as people who promote internationally renowned artists, it’s fantastic. In addition, the fact that we are the only Northern Ireland representation at the UK Festival Awards speaks volumes for the hard work done over the years by all in the Small But Massive team.”
The award, chosen by the Festival Awards board sees Paddy in the last 8 from a list of 200 others. See the contenders below:
- AEG Live
- Count of Ten (Y Not, Truck, Brownstock, Tramlines)
- Creamfields
- Isle of Wight Festival team
- Spring Music (Bearded Theory)
- Rob Da Bank
- Zoo Project Festival team

The winners will be announced at an award ceremony at The Roundhouse, London on December 2nd. We would like to take this opportunity to wish all festivals and nominees the best of luck in their respective categories.
