Another fantastic year at ACM was rounded off with the annual ACM Awards ceremony, celebrating the very best of the years achievements, student successes and creativity, at Guildford’s G-live venue.
Compered by ACM’s Brian Henry, the night began with a scintillating performance from student band ‘Dancing in the Streets’. Then followed the formal awards and student presentations to this years outstanding students from across the three ACM schools; Performance, Production and Business.
“ACM’s annual awards are the highlight of the year for everyone at ACM. It is a night to celebrate student successes and an opportunity to give thanks to all, who have given their support over the year gone by. It’s also a great night to showcase the incredible talent within ACM with various live music performances throughout the evening.”
