Recognising Achievement in 2020

Fatea is proud to announce the shortlists for the Fatea Awards. The awards are nominated by the Fatea team and recognise excellence over 2020.

Each award has a shortlist of three and we congratulate all artists on our shortlist as well as the many others that were nominated and every artist and band that released music or performed live during 2020.

No artist is allowed to win more than one award and all have featured in the magazine during the last year. The nominations are listed in alphabetical order.

We would normally have three special awards, Innovation, Tradition & Lifetime Achievement, but 2020 has been a strange year due to covid. There haven't been the special music projects that would normally occur during the year so we have taken the decison, for this year only to combine the innovation and tradition into a combined projects award

Similarly, for this year only, we will not be having a Lifetime Achievement award but will instead be recognising efforts of individuals and organisations that have support music and musicians through this year.

The winners of the Fatea Awards will be announced during a two hour radio special, this year hosted by Blues & Roots Radio on January 15th at 8PM(GMT).
