The Northern Ireland Country Music Awards (NICMA’S) Voted by the Public returns Monday 29^th January 2024. The Armagh City Hotel has been chosen as the 2024 venue for the prestigious event and it promises to be the best yet.

With an eclectic mix of artists from every corner of Northern Ireland, consisting of our current leading stars, legends and some of our young and upcoming artists.

Every year the NICMA’S also invite some very special guests from the South of Ireland and 2024 is certainly no exception.

Ireland’s leading lady and daughter of the legendary Jimmy Buckley will also be a making a special appearance. The glamorous

Claudia Buckley who has just launched her own band will certainly add some sparkle to the event.
