Artists with London connections among Juno Award nominees 0

London is on the Juno radar ? with a flurry of hopefuls with local ties in the 2013 Junos field announced Tuesday.

London-tied performers with Juno noms range from London, England?s Dan Snaith ? a Juno- and Polaris Music Prize winner with Caribou ? whose Daphni project is up in the electronic album category to vocalist Aviva Chernick, nominated with Toronto?s Jaffa Road in the world music category.

The London hopes this year aren?t as strong as the 2011 edition of the Junos. That year four Junos went to London-tied performers ? Caribou, Lara St. John, Shad and Meaghan Smith. But even an early, and likely partial, list for 2013 shows there are contenders in several fields.

Another former Londoner, Justin Broadbent, is up for his work on Metric?s Synthetica in the record package of the year category.

?Nominated for a Juno for best album artwork (Metric)! Wooh! #Juno2013 #JUNOAwards,? Broadbent said Tuesday on his Facebook page.

Former Western student Tony Dekker?s Great Lake Swimmers is nominated for roots & traditional album with New Wild Everywhere. The band includes violinist Miranda Mulholland, who studied opera at Western?s Don Wright music faculty.

Toronto?s Tafelmusik Baroque orchestra and chorus are up in classical categories with former Londoner Charlotte Nediger, harpsichord, and Julia Wedman, violin, among the London- and Western-tied members in the ensemble. Former Western music student Ivars Taurins directs the Tafelmusikc choir.

Toronto jazz vocalist Elizabeth Shepherd and pop album nominee Victoria Duffield, of B.C., are among the contenders with family and other ties to London. Duffield is nominated in the same category as Canadian superstars Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen.
