The 54th Ivor Novello Awards - nominations announced
Now in their sixth decade, The Ivor Novello Awards are internationally respected for celebrating excellence in British music writing. They are judged and presented by the writing community and are given annually to outstanding songwriters and composers.
Held at the Grosvenor House on Thursday 21st May 2009. The Ivors are presented by BASCA in association with PRS for Music, and continue to be acknowledged as one of the most coveted awards in the industry. Previous winners include Sir Paul McCartney, Madonna, David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Sting, Annie Lennox and Radiohead.
The Ivor Novello Awards is BASCA’s flagship event, celebrating excellence in British songwriting, composing and music publishing. The awards can celebrate artistic excellence in a specific work, exceptional sales or performance figures, or recognise the outstanding achievements of a particular songwriter or composer throughout their career. Over the years the awards have reflected changing tastes in popular music, identifying and celebrating the contribution made by British music both in the UK and across the globe. The Ivor Novello Awards have been sponsored by PRS for Music for more than thirty years. The Nominations for 2008 are as follows:
