Not only do we have the MOBO Awards, we also have the UMA’s (Urban Music Awards) which will take place in November. Yey!!!!
Estelle is again leading the way in award nominations, this time picking up nods in five categories for the UK Urban Music Awards (UMAs).

The Urban Music Awards is the real deal… I have been nominating and voting for 6 years now and i went for the first time last year. I just admired the fact that it was unpretentious and that they supported UK music from long time ago compared to others who chose to support only American acts. The nominees this year look good, i’ve just voted for Dizzee Rascal , Sway Leona Lewis and Duffy @ http://www.urbanmusicawards.net , cause i think they deserve to win!!
Anyne knows where to pick up tickets from. Just called ticketmaster..? They don’t seem to have a clue??
Amy Winehouse – Neo soul are they taking the piss?..lol
can’t knock Dizzie, he works his socks off and deserves to be where he is today, even if it was by luck that the window opened and he got through it first and then it shut…hehe kind of!
The Urban music awards is one of the few events reaching to both the public and the alisters.I am a devoted fan and i attend every year.To get tickets you can contact the marketing director by checking their website for details.
