Heritage Award

A PRS for Music Heritage Award celebrating Blur's first gig in 1989 at the East Anglian Railway Museum near Colchester

The PRS for Music Heritage Award is a ceremonial plaque installed in a public place to commemorate a link between a famous musician or music band and the location they performed their first live gig.[1][2] The UK-wide plaque is awarded and funded by PRS for Music.[3][4]

History

The PRS for Music Heritage Award was created in 2009 by PRS for Music in order to celebrate the first performances of the UK's leading bands.[3] The inaugural award is seen as a unique scheme to celebrate UK music venues which have played a pivotal role in launching the careers of some of the country's most iconic music acts.[5] The first Heritage Award was presented to the UK Britpop band Blur on 30 November 2009 by PRS for Music chairman Ellis Rich.[6]
