Louis Tomlinson, The Courteeners and Aitch were among the winners at the inaugural Northern Music Awards, which organisers hope will become the "Brits of the North".

The event, held in Manchester on Tuesday, was set up to celebrate talent from across the north of England.

Former One Direction star Tomlinson, hailing from Doncaster, was named artist of the year - beating fellow South Yorkshire singer Self Esteem and Newcastle's Sam Fender.

The Courteeners - whose 2008 debut album finally reached number one in 2023 after being reissued - won band of the year.

The Courteeners frontman Liam Fray said it was "really exciting to be part of a really special night for the north".

He said there was space for an awards ceremony championing acts from places like Manchester. "We do feel like we do things differently," he told the BBC.

"I know it’s a bit of a cliché. I think everybody, whatever region you're from, feels a bit 'us and them'.

"It's more of a celebration. I think that's on everybody's mind - should you have to do your own [awards]? But yeah, why not?"

The event was organised by music therapy charity Nordoff and Robbins, which has staged the Silver Clef awards in London since 1976.

The Prize

To celebrate Louis Tomlinson's Artist of the Year nomination at the Nordoff and Robbins Northern Music Awards, Louis has donated this beautiful guitar, which he has signed (for the winner).

Louis is currently learning how to play the guitar and finds a lot of joy in it. He's always wanted to learn so he felt by donating a guitar it would encourage and help someone else begin to learn how to play.

The Cause

Nordoff and Robbins is the UK’s largest music therapy charity, with a unique approach shaped by more than 60 years of practice. Through the power of music, it breaks through the barriers caused by life-limiting illness, disability, and social isolation. The charity does this through providing music therapy to people across the UK, whilst also training the music therapists of the future and funding research to measure and improve the impact of its work.
