Eastbourne Borough Council lead cabinet member for tourism and enterprise, Councillor Margaret Bannister said, “This is a wonderful testament to the on-going hard work that has completely revitalised our concert programme in recent years, seeing our 1,300 seater venue often selling out.
“Tribute artists have huge respect for our audience here in Eastbourne, who dance and sing-a-long with such enthusiasm come rain or shine, so I am delighted to hear we have received this important recognition.”
Winners will be announced at the National Tribute Music Awards ceremony in Leicester on July 4.
