FOR INTERNATIONAL BLUES ARTIST OF THE YEAR Award Presented In Online Ceremony Hosted by Paul Jones On Sunday, May 9, award-winning vocalist Shemekia Copeland received the coveted UK Blues Award for International Blues Artist Of The Year. The award was presented in a virtual ceremony hosted by BBC radio personality, actor and musician Paul Jones. The UK Blues Awards were created by the UK Blues Federation to give the blues community in the UK the opportunity to recognize and applaud those actively involved with the music. |

De UKBlues Federation heeft de UKBlues Awards in 2017 in het leven geroepen en de inaugurele Awards in 2018 werden alom goed ontvangen.

De Awards zelf werden uitgereikt tijdens een uitverkochte viering op Worthing Pier in april 2018, MCd door Ian Siegal.
Helaas vonden de voor 2019 geplande awards niet plaats, maar de UKBlues Federation heeft hard gewerkt om ervoor te zorgen dat de UKBlues Awards in 2020 terugkwamen
De resultaten zouden worden bekendgemaakt en de Awards worden uitgereikt tijdens onze Awards Celebration op zondag 17 mei 2020 in de iconische Dingwalls in Londen. Op advies van de regering en vanwege lockdown-beperkingen moesten de awards online gaan.
