BEFORE BREAKFAST

Congrats, Before Breakfast! How does it feel to win this award?

Well, loads of our friends and people that we know are inside this room; all the cafes we go to and have meetings about the music at are here, plus the places we just go and have drinks at. I think it’s really nice to be part of that as a band, nice to just be part of the Sheffield community and hopefully everyone will go and listen to our music afterwards as well.

Is there anyone you’d like to shoutout or dedicate the award to tonight?

I think Sheffield Music School and all the kids that we teach there. Basically just to the future of music, innit?

Indeed. Is there anything else you’d like to add? Listen to our music because we’re f*cking great and we work really, really hard. Oh, and buy our merch!

Best Local Brewery Abbeydale Brewery

In a city full of good breweries, how does it feel to take this award home tonight?

Really great! Sheffield’s honestly one of the greatest brewing cities anywhere in the world, and we love working with the guys at so many incredible breweries across the city. It’s a fantastic beer scene with so many incredible pubs, bars and bottle shops.

Is there anything you’d like to say to those people who voted?

Thank you! This is a great city; we all work very hard and we’re glad that you like the beer. We’d make it anyway, but it helps that people like it!

Is there anyone in particular you’d like to give a shoutout to tonight?

The staff at Abbeydale Brewery for making it a really, really good place to work. The owners, the company itself – they’re the nicest people and it makes it such a great place to work. Very few people ever leave Abbeydale; we all love working there and even those that do go on to do great things. I spoke to some of the other guys nominated for tonight’s award and all they wanted to do was talk about making great beer and helping each other out, which is wonderful.
