Music Week is delighted to reveal the 2016 Women in Music Roll of Honour.
Now in its third year, the annual Music Week Women in Music event will be hosted by BBC Radio 1’s Alice Levine on Friday, November 11 at the Royal Garden Hotel, Kensington.
The event has gone from strength to strength since launching in 2014, with UK Music, AIM and Music Week working closely to celebrate the most important and influential women from all sectors of the music industry.
