Róisín Murphy has been announced as the recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to Music at this year's AIM Independent Music Awards.
The Wicklow-born musician, who stars in the forthcoming issue of Hot Press, is bound for Longitude later this month as she unleashes her outstanding Take Her Up To Monto LP – the follow-up to the Mercury-nominated Hairless Toys –, but she'll be donning the gladrags to pick up the coveted gong in September.
The awards, organised by the Association of Independent Music – and, predictably enough, celebrating the achievements in said field – have previously honoured the likes of Billy Bragg, Bjork, Skepta and Richie Hawtin.
