ICON AWARD RECIPIENT & LIVE PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCEMENT ✨ TONY MORTIMER -EAST 17 🫶🏻
We are delighted to announce that Tony Mortimer – founding member and principal songwriter of East 17 – will be joining us at THIS IS ICON this September, where he will receive an ICON Award and perform live on the night.
As one of the defining figures of British pop music, Tony helped create the soundtrack to a generation with East 17, one of the most successful British pop groups of the 1990s.
With 11 UK Top 10 singles, 17 Top 40 hits and a UK No.1 album, East 17 built an incredible catalogue of music that has continued to resonate with audiences for more than three decades.
Their hits include House of Love, Deep, It’s Alright, Around the World, Steam, Let It Rain, and, of course, the iconic Stay Another Day, which spent five weeks at No.1 and became the 1994 UK Christmas No.1.
Tony’s talent as a songwriter has also been recognised with an Ivor Novello Award, further cementing his place as one of British pop’s most accomplished and enduring songwriters.
This September, we are incredibly proud to celebrate Tony’s contribution to British music and the legacy he has created through songs that remain instantly recognisable today.
Tony Mortimer will receive a THIS IS ICON Award and will also take to the stage for a very special live performance.
