The Boisdale Xerjoff Music Awards 2025: A Night of Icons, Legends and Musical Brilliance

The evening’s highest honour went to Joss Stone, crowned British Icon for her extraordinary contribution to music. Other major accolades included the Legacy Award for Musical Excellence presented to Guy Chambers, the Outstanding Contribution to British Music awarded to Nitin Sawhney, and the Lifetime Achievement Award bestowed upon Boy Wonder.

In a heartfelt moment, Robbie Williams sent a special video message congratulating Guy Chambers on his Legacy Award win, expressing his sadness at not being able to attend in person.

Winners took to the stage to perform or share words with the audience, adding to the atmosphere of musical brilliance. Guests enjoyed a champagne and cocktail reception followed by a three-course dinner, with every attendee gifted an exclusive Xerjoff fragrance sampler.

The night built to a thrilling finale when Fil Straughan, crowned Boisdale Show Artist of the Year, gathered Joss Stone, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Haynes, Omar, Junior Giscombe and Teshay Makeda on stage for a celebratory performance that had the crowd on its feet. Afterwards, the party continued downstairs, where DJ Spoony and DJ Supa D kept the energy flowing until 1am.

With notable guests including Maxi Priest, Omar, Don Reedman, Carroll Thompson and Simon Bartholomew of The Brand New Heavies, the 2025 awards further cemented Boisdale’s place as a cornerstone of London’s live music scene, where artistry, conviviality and community intertwine.
