BASCA | Sarah Rodgers

Proud Owners of The Ivors We are the UK’s independent association representing music writers in all genres from songwriting through to media, contemporary classical and jazz. BASCA campaigns in the UK, Europe and throughout the world on behalf of our members. We work to protect the value of music; we stand up for your rights, and speak out when your interests are threatened. We celebrate achievement and offer a vibrant community where the collective experience of our members is shared.

Sarah Rodgers What a brilliant occasion The Ivors is! It is always a thrill for me, on behalf of BASCA – creators and hosts of The Ivors – to be the first to welcome you to our annual celebration of songwriting and composing. So here we are for the 57th Ivor Novello Awards which will have its own particular and memorable hallmarks, as each year does. All of us, as we experience this unique event, gather our own special memories and enjoy that personal connection which imbues The Ivors and the achievements it awards, with a sense of belonging and delight in the joyful recognition of star quality. There is perhaps one star who for quite some time now, and in a different way from all others, has shone in The Ivors constellation and I am speaking, of course, of Paul Gambaccini. In so many ways, Paul has become synonymous with The Ivors - as host, as champion, as cognoscente, almost as icon - and indeed, were it not for the fact that we already have a very elegant statuette, we might even have cast him in bronze! Today at The Ivors, Paul is hosting our event for the 25th time – his very own silver jubilee! Congratulations, Paul, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity,

The Ivors Committee | Gary Osborne

Gary Osborne “It is the best of all trades, to make songs, and the second best to sing them”. So said Hilaire Belloc, and the respect and affection we feel for The Ivors proves that those sentiments aren’t just Belloc’s. My first encounter with The Ivors came one afternoon in 1959 when my mother went back on a promise to take me to the park because she and my father had to go to a swanky “do” where Dad had been nominated for something called an Ivor Novello Award. He went on to be nominated four times, winning twice. Throughout my youth Dad’s Ivors were just about the most precious possessions in the Osborne household. During the 70’s and 80’s I attended The Ivors several times with Elton, who always supports the event when he’s in town, however one ceremony I missed was in 1979 when I myself won an Ivor (but that’s another story). Unfortunately by the time I received it, 32 years later, my dad was no longer around to appreciate the fact that he and I are the only father and son to have won Ivors.

MUSIC AND MEDIA LITIGATION 60 Charlotte Street, London W1T 2NU

When I joined the BASCA Board in the early 9O’s I was put straight onto The Ivors Committee and I’ve been there ever since. But even though this is the 23rd time I’ve been to the event I can’t be blasé about my favourite day of the year, for one thing it’s one of the few days

“Dad’s Ivors were just about the most precious possessions in the Osborne household.” I allow myself to have a drink (or three) at lunchtime. So if you see me at The Ivors please say hello. I’ll be the bloke wearing the biggest smile in the room. I hope you enjoy this year’s Ivors. I certainly intend to.

BASCA at The Ivors

Our three award ceremonies and their celebration of those who write music are very important to BASCA. To judge by the people who have gathered in the Great Room today they are also important to members of our community – be they writers, music publishers, managers, and lawyers, accountants, collecting societies or record companies. The Ivors are perhaps the most high profile part of BASCA’s public face but are far from being all that we do. At its heart BASCA is a membership organisation and our members drive everything that we do and all for which we stand. Our members come from all genres of composing and songwriting and, as a professional association, it is their interests we are here to protect and advance. As writers of music our members

Mark Allan

BASCA is incredibly proud of The Ivors and of all the songwriters and composers who are honoured at the awards. We are proud of the fact that we have been presenting The Ivors for the past 57 years. We are equally proud of our other award ceremonies, the British Composer Awards (which celebrate their 10th anniversary this year) and the Gold Badge Awards, which will be presented this October for the 39th time and which recognise those who have made a special contribution to the careers of music creators – often from behind the scenes.

Benjamin Drew at The Ivors in 2011

“At its heart BASCA is a membership organisation and our members drive everything that we do and all for which we stand.” depend upon their creativity and originality to make their livings. However there is something that underlies these skills and underpins their economic and social value: copyright. Unless you have been living in a cave

for the last few years you will realise that copyright has been the whipping boy of successive governments: reviews by the last Labour administration and the current Coalition government have put it in the spotlight and both apparently started from the premise that it was a roadblock to digital growth rather than seeing it as the enabler of creativity that BASCA and its friends believe it to be. With our friends in the industry (especially PRS for Music and the MPA) we spend a large amount of time and resource putting the case for copyright. Much of this work is done at home through UK Music and in Europe through the European Composer and Songwriter Alliance (ECSA).

At the same time that we campaign for the rights of our members BASCA also tries to ensure that its members know exactly what rights they have and what is happening in the music industry and in the wider political and business world which may affect these rights. This continual process of informing and educating are core activities for BASCA and, as with our campaigning, we spend a lot of time and money in trying to ensure that we deliver them to our members in the most effective and enjoyable way. Finally, in the same way that The Ivors are about the music community recognising outstanding achievement,

BASCA is also founded on a concept of community. This pervades all that we do: our social events where members can exchange experiences, discuss problems and talk about issues and our campaigning where a united voice is louder and stronger than a lone voice. Many Ivor winners have said that the reason the award means so much to them is because it comes from their peers, from their own community and it is that which makes it so special. BASCA welcomes you all to The Ivors and congratulates all of the nominees. We hope that you will enjoy the day and will want to find out more about our community of composers and songwriters.

About BASCA BASCA, the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, is the professional association for music writers in the UK. With approximately 2,000 members, it is the single voice for British music creators. BASCA works to foster a sense of community amongst songwriters, lyricists and composers, and to campaign on their behalf in the domestic, European and international political arenas. As the only association in the country made up entirely of music writers, the organisation has an unparalleled insight into the issues affecting music creators in the UK today. We work closely with our members, keeping them informed in a constantly changing environment via our publications, websites, seminars and professional networking events. BASCA also presents The Ivor Novello Awards, British Composer Awards and Gold Badge Awards annually. Find out more and join us at: www.basca.org.uk

BASCA would like to thank... . . . all those who have helped to make this year’s event possible. In particular: Awards host Paul Gambaccini, writer Mark Fishlock, narrator Tom Robinson, and Craig Armstrong for composing The Ivors music. Derek Healey and his team at Capitol House Productions for the stage presentation and production. Fran Matthews and Kate MacCormick for event management and organisation; Joanne Viner for producing this programme. Mike Wilson for hand crafting The Ivors statuettes; Rebecca Chapman and Taylor Herring for managing our public relations. Finally, special thanks to Gary Osborne and The Ivors Committee, all those who judged this year’s nominated categories and our sponsor PRS for Music.

Performing Right Society | Guy Fletcher

Guy Fletcher Welcome to the 57th Ivor Novello Awards where, once again, we have the pleasure of honouring a fabulous list of British songwriters and composers. Creating is what we do best, and there is no greater testament to the momentous success our songwriters and composers have achieved over the past 12 months than The Ivors. As Chairman of PRS, and also as a lifetime songwriter, I’m only too aware of the sheer hard work, determination, originality and passion it takes to write music that captivates millions around the globe. Our creators provide the accompaniment to TV programmes, films and adverts everywhere. Our classical creations are played in concert halls on every continent, and our pop music can be heard in countless theatres, bars, shops and clubs, in fact everywhere that people gather around the world. It is this wealth of talent that inspires the great British songwriters and composers of tomorrow, creating a climate of ambition and innovation. At PRS for Music, we are proud to support our members’ success and encourage progression, from their very first performances through to international acclaim.

PRS for Music | Robert Ashcroft

Robert Ashcroft Congratulations to all winners and nominees at this year’s Ivor Novello Awards. As Chief Executive of PRS for Music, it gives me great pleasure to celebrate the creativity of our members and witness their achievements first hand. We all recognise that 2011 was a remarkable year for British music. Our songwriters, composers and publishers were in great demand overseas, and we witnessed a significant increase in international royalties. Partnership and cooperation with colleagues overseas helped enormously, ensuring that effective music licensing around the globe brought real results for our members. But, as we take the opportunity to celebrate this extraordinary success, we do so against the backdrop of an industry in flux. New listening habits and business models are shaping our sector, and we are changing to ensure we continue to protect our members’ work today and support the talent of tomorrow.

Proud sponsor of The Ivors www.prsformusic.com www.m-magazine.co.uk

The digital space is growing rapidly now and last year brought new licensed services from the likes of Apple and Deezer. We must continue to strive for balance between the needs of these innovative services and the interests of our members, the creators who keep the music industry alive.

“We must strive to protect copyright, the lifeblood of the creative industries.” We must also strive to protect copyright, the lifeblood of the creative industries. It is undoubtedly a turbulent time, with numerous discussions into the value of intellectual property across all levels of our industry, but we must remain clear-headed and unwavering in our commitment to preserving our members’ rights.

I know that, together, we are stronger.

Awards Host | Paul Gambaccini

Paul Gambaccini

What is it like to share a stage with the finest songwriters and composers in the business? Few of us will ever know, but for Paul Gambaccini, it has become something of a regular occurrence. The man with the smooth mid-Atlantic accent and encyclopaedic knowledge of pop and rock is this year celebrating a quarter of a century presenting The Ivor Novello Awards.

“Then Brian Wilson and Stevie Wonder each broke into song spontaneously… and there was George Michael, who won two awards in 1989. He was so nervous because the Songwriter of the Year

18 | The 2012 Ivor Novello Awards

“Among modern artists, this kind of collaboration is an increasingly common phenomenon”, he says. “The Beatles made writing your own material de rigueur for rock bands, but in recent years we’ve seen the re-emergence of professional songwriters who write for more than one artist. “Look at Eg White, who was named Songwriter of the Year [in 2009]. And if you consider an artist like Adele – she is the main writer on her album but she has important co-writers. I also love that one of the recent winners of the Special International Award was Diane Warren. She has never been an artist – but she is the go-to woman on the [US] west coast.”

Matt Jamie

“You could say I have had the honour of being with the world’s greatest songwriters and composers at their happiest moments,” he says. “Whether it’s on stage or sharing off-mic moments, it has been a very rich experience.” What have been his most memorable moments down the years? “Well, that’s a hard one. I loved it when Lou Reed accepted the Special International Award [in 2005]. He thanked the British people and was amazed by their support. He said, “I couldn’t get arrested in New York… well, I was arrested but that was for something else!”

up, one is the artist and the other isn’t. Both people are equally honoured.”

award meant so much to him – he came to the stage with a glass of wine and accidentally left it behind. I had to say, “Thanks George but I don’t drink.” More recently, Gambaccini recalls Lily Allen who “shed a few tears” when collecting three awards in 2010. “She was not seen as someone who would be emotional in that way but she was,” he says. “That’s the great thing about these

awards – it wasn’t about her image, it’s not about anyone’s image.” The fact that The Ivors are all about songwriting and composing, says Gambaccini, underlines their integrity, something which is evident throughout the awards. “It might not seem like a big thing but I think it’s so important that co-writers win prizes at The Ivors,” he says. “I find it fascinating when two people go

After 24 years presenting the statuette of Euterpe and sharing the stage with hundreds of winners, can he identify a common characteristic between them? “The Ivor winners are not journeymen,” he says. “They add something that hasn’t been added before. They give something that we already know a personal twist and, importantly, they make it feel that no one has been doing this before.” As he prepares for a very special 25th year on stage, he is buoyant about the health of The Ivor Novello Awards.

Paul with Midge Ure and Bob Geldof in 1985

“You could say I have had the honour of being with the world’s greatest songwriters and composers at their happiest moments.” “This is almost the one award that’s guaranteed to still be going,” he says. “The way we consume music is changing but content is still king. Regardless of how we hear it or get it, we will need these people as much in 25 years as we do now.” Coming back to this year’s awards, he is looking forward to meeting one nominee in particular.

Paul with Brian Wilson in 2003

Paul with Stevie Wonder in 2001 “To be honest, I don’t know if an almost certain winner will be able to attend, but when I spoke at the BRIT School a number of years ago there was a girl in the front row who was slouching. I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, am I that boring?’ “That girl’s name was Miss Adkins. So if she is here this year, I’ll be checking to see if she’s slouching.”

As Paul Gambaccini prepares to host The Ivor Novello Awards for the 25th year, Paul Allen talks to the iconic broadcaster and DJ about sharing the stage with some of the world’s most prestigious songwriters and composers.

Awards Host | Paul Gambaccini

Paul Gambaccini

What is it like to share a stage with the finest songwriters and composers in the business? Few of us will ever know, but for Paul Gambaccini, it has become something of a regular occurrence. The man with the smooth mid-Atlantic accent and encyclopaedic knowledge of pop and rock is this year celebrating a quarter of a century presenting The Ivor Novello Awards.

“Then Brian Wilson and Stevie Wonder each broke into song spontaneously… and there was George Michael, who won two awards in 1989. He was so nervous because the Songwriter of the Year

18 | The 2012 Ivor Novello Awards

“Among modern artists, this kind of collaboration is an increasingly common phenomenon”, he says. “The Beatles made writing your own material de rigueur for rock bands, but in recent years we’ve seen the re-emergence of professional songwriters who write for more than one artist. “Look at Eg White, who was named Songwriter of the Year [in 2009]. And if you consider an artist like Adele – she is the main writer on her album but she has important co-writers. I also love that one of the recent winners of the Special International Award was Diane Warren. She has never been an artist – but she is the go-to woman on the [US] west coast.”

Matt Jamie

“You could say I have had the honour of being with the world’s greatest songwriters and composers at their happiest moments,” he says. “Whether it’s on stage or sharing off-mic moments, it has been a very rich experience.” What have been his most memorable moments down the years? “Well, that’s a hard one. I loved it when Lou Reed accepted the Special International Award [in 2005]. He thanked the British people and was amazed by their support. He said, “I couldn’t get arrested in New York… well, I was arrested but that was for something else!”

up, one is the artist and the other isn’t. Both people are equally honoured.”

award meant so much to him – he came to the stage with a glass of wine and accidentally left it behind. I had to say, “Thanks George but I don’t drink.” More recently, Gambaccini recalls Lily Allen who “shed a few tears” when collecting three awards in 2010. “She was not seen as someone who would be emotional in that way but she was,” he says. “That’s the great thing about these

awards – it wasn’t about her image, it’s not about anyone’s image.” The fact that The Ivors are all about songwriting and composing, says Gambaccini, underlines their integrity, something which is evident throughout the awards. “It might not seem like a big thing but I think it’s so important that co-writers win prizes at The Ivors,” he says. “I find it fascinating when two people go

After 24 years presenting the statuette of Euterpe and sharing the stage with hundreds of winners, can he identify a common characteristic between them? “The Ivor winners are not journeymen,” he says. “They add something that hasn’t been added before. They give something that we already know a personal twist and, importantly, they make it feel that no one has been doing this before.” As he prepares for a very special 25th year on stage, he is buoyant about the health of The Ivor Novello Awards.

Paul with Midge Ure and Bob Geldof in 1985

“You could say I have had the honour of being with the world’s greatest songwriters and composers at their happiest moments.” “This is almost the one award that’s guaranteed to still be going,” he says. “The way we consume music is changing but content is still king. Regardless of how we hear it or get it, we will need these people as much in 25 years as we do now.” Coming back to this year’s awards, he is looking forward to meeting one nominee in particular.

Paul with Brian Wilson in 2003

Paul with Stevie Wonder in 2001 “To be honest, I don’t know if an almost certain winner will be able to attend, but when I spoke at the BRIT School a number of years ago there was a girl in the front row who was slouching. I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, am I that boring?’ “That girl’s name was Miss Adkins. So if she is here this year, I’ll be checking to see if she’s slouching.”

A GRIPPING CONSPIRACY THRILLER STARRING CHIWETEL EJIOFOR, CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON, LESLEY SHARP, SIR ANTONY SHER, RAFE SPALL, KIERSTON WAREING AND STEPHEN REA. Detective Inspector Jonah Gabriel (Ejiofor) takes on his first case since being shot in a botched police operation that left his partner dead. The new case involves investigating the murder of recently pardoned, drug baron Harvey Wratten. On the other side of the criminal divide, Joseph Bede (Eccleston), a former associate of Wratten’s, is moved to make his own enquiries. As Gabriel, dogged by amnesia and suspicious colleagues, follows a complicated line of investigation and Bede becomes increasingly desperate to see through a massive drugs operation that will enable him to step out of the business forever, the enigmatic and ruthless Gatehouse (Rea) emerges from the shadows to bring the story to a shocking climax…

The 2012 Ivor Novello Awards | 31

Interview | Labrinth

Labrinth London-born Timothy McKenzie, aka Labrinth, won last year’s Ivor for Best Contemporary Song with rapper Tinie Tempah. He co-wrote and produced Tinie’s debut single Pass Out, which reached No. 1 in the UK singles chart. After finding success as a writer and producer – he began producing aged just 15 – in 2010, Labrinth became the first non talent show signing to Simon Cowell’s record label Syco in six years. He released his debut album Electronic Earth earlier in April 2012. What do you remember about winning last year with Pass Out? I remember that I was nervous as fuck! It was weird, getting an Ivor Novello Award for something classed as a UK urban record. Obviously Dizzee Rascal also won [The Ivors Inspiration Award] that year, but I didn’t think we were going to get it. So yeah, it was really nice to be recognised. Was there anything special about winning an Ivor in particular? Definitely. The Ivors are one of the most important awards in the world. As a writer and producer, it was an honour to receive it. It’s good because The Ivors are not about how many records you’ve sold, they’re about craftsmanship. I actually didn’t get recognised too much on Pass Out, which makes sense – a lot of people who listen to the record just think Tinie, Tinie, Tinie. But I was up for nights on that record making sure everything was tight.

“The Ivors are one of the most important awards in the world. As a writer and producer, it was an honour to receive it.”

Were you cautious about joining Syco? It was very important that I had my own say. But in terms of business, I’m a minor. I know a lot about creating music, but not business. So it was a balance of talking to the label, making sure I have what I need, and they have what they need. I want to appeal to the masses – that’s my approach, but musical integrity is more important to me than anything else. How happy are you to have finished your debut album? Most writers are not happy with their works, that’s me all the time. Also, as a writer I’m a baby – I don’t know anything. When I think I do know everything then I won’t have a career. So I’m out there learning all the time. Electronic Earth was a great learning experience for me I’ve never finished an album before, and I finally got there.

Were your family proud? Ha ha, my family are the coolest guys in the business, so they don’t care much for all that excitement and stuff. My mum was actually almost not going to come, but she did. It’s The Ivors.

How has being a producer helped your songwriting? It has taught me loads. As a producer you listen to so many different artists that you’re always finding details that you didn’t notice before. Just listening to albums, like Radiohead’s OK Computer, lots by David Bowie, Purple Rain – they really helped me to figure out where I want to sit.

Do you remember your acceptance speech? I think I said that hopefully Simon (Cowell) can put out a credible album finally. There had been a lot of slating of Syco at the time – they’d just finished the Susan Boyle album and a lot of manufactured pop covers. I said, “Well, I’m on this label now.”

Do you find writing tougher than producing? It’s definitely very hard. As a producer, it’s easy to tell an artist that something will work or not – you can lay down the facts. As an artist, you have to go inside yourself. I had a lot of internal battles – lots of arguments in my head. I really had to learn how to balance myself.

Outstanding Song Collection

This award acknowledges the album as a body of work. Open to an album that was commercially released in 2011 and appeared as an entry on the Official UK Top 75 Albums Chart, the category credits consistently exceptional songwriting across an entire album.

Originally named Outstanding Contemporary Song Collection this Ivor Novello Award was first presented at the 1993 ceremony and has been given to Paul Weller, Elvis Costello and Joan Armatrading. By 1997 `contemporary’ was removed from the title and the award has been occasionally presented ever since to recognise a songwriter or songwriting team who have penned an exceptional catalogue of songs.

Album Award

Outstanding Song Collection

This award acknowledges the album as a body of work. Open to an album that was commercially released in 2011 and appeared as an entry on the Official UK Top 75 Albums Chart, the category credits consistently exceptional songwriting across an entire album.

Originally named Outstanding Contemporary Song Collection this Ivor Novello Award was first presented at the 1993 ceremony and has been given to Paul Weller, Elvis Costello and Joan Armatrading. By 1997 `contemporary’ was removed from the title and the award has been occasionally presented ever since to recognise a songwriter or songwriting team who have penned an exceptional catalogue of songs.

Interview | Natasha Khan

Natasha Khan Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Natasha Khan, better known as Bat for Lashes, won the 2009 Ivor for Best Contemporary Song with Daniel. Following her 2006 debut album Fur and Gold, she released her second album, Two Suns, in 2009 – reaching number five on the UK Album Chart. She is currently writing/recording her third album. What do you remember most from The Ivors? I remember arriving a few hours before the ceremony and realising I’d left my special dress in a Brighton cab! I managed to cobble something together, but I was gutted! I also remember Johnny Marr being a very nice man. How do The Ivors feel different to other awards? I think the fact that they’re not filmed makes the ceremony feel less of a circus, and more about music’s real contributors. I liked how there was such an eclectic mix of people in the room when I attended. Do you remember what you said in your acceptance speech? I remember talking about writing Daniel in my pyjamas with a cup of tea in bed! I was so nervous, I’m surprised I managed to say anything! 
 How special was it that you won the award for Daniel? I was so, so thrilled, because I received the award for Best Contemporary Song, which I’m told is voted for by songwriters. I saw my name up on the screen as sole songwriter – I thought, little me did that! It’s not often you feel it’s acceptable to be that chuffed with yourself! How easy did you find it to write that song? They say all the best ones happen in five minutes, which was the case with Daniel (with the help of a good pair of pyjamas!) I wrote it on a little sequencer, starting with the bass line, some horns, then added a choral part for the choruses. When I started to form the melody I remember experiencing that great sense of elation you get when you feel like you’ve captured true contentment for a split second.
 Brooke Nipar

“I never censor myself in the writing process – the inner critic isn’t welcome in those magic moments.”

Which songwriters most inspired you when you started writing? I loved Joni Mitchell’s Blue album and Lou Reed’s Berlin. Kurt Cobain’s simple melodies sounded like kids’ playground songs. I loved Kate Bush’s The Ninth Wave – I remember being 12 and putting it on in the dark to scare myself. I remember hearing Jóga by Björk for the first time and having to bend my ears around being able to understand what was happening with the melody and timing. All of these artists, and many more, were like the best group of teachers that taught me at a music school in my mind. Is your songwriting mostly instinctive? I think it is, but I am learning new things all the time. I find it scary to be challenged, but try to push myself out of my comfort zone. I don’t often use conventional chord structures, and I used to feel bad that I didn’t know about the right chord progressions. But I’ve realised that sometimes your biggest weakness turns out to be your biggest strength. I’ve realised I’m developing my style. I always try to follow what honestly wants to come out. I never censor myself in the writing process – the inner critic isn’t welcome in those magic moments, because I know it will be knocking down the door once I’m finished! Production and writing go hand in hand for me. Often I use strange sounds as the base of a song, and the atmosphere denotes how it turns out. Otherwise I write on the piano. I have recently been reading lots of old romantic English poems - I’m interested in bringing back themes that aren’t perhaps fashionable in lyric writing nowadays, like the wonder of nature.

Based on the million-selling Orange Prize winning novel by Lionel Shiver and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN is an emotional thriller starring Academy Award® Winner Tilda Swinton (I Am Love), Academy Award® nominee John C. Reilly (Zombieland) and Ezra Miller. Eva (Swinton) puts her ambitions and career aside to give birth to Kevin, but the relationship between mother and son is difficult from the very first years. When Kevin is 15, he does something irrational and unforgivable in the eyes of the community, leaving Eva grappling with her own feelings of grief and responsibility. Did she ever love her son? And how much of what Kevin did was her fault?

Interview | Dan Jones

Dan Jones Dan Jones is a double Ivor-winning composer and sound designer working in film, TV and theatre. He won his first Ivor in 2004 for the soundtrack to director Menno Mayjes’ movie, Max, starring John Cusack. More recently he composed the music for Channel 4’s Any Human Heart, which won him the Ivor for Best Television Soundtrack for 2010. Away from film and TV, he is a founding member and co-artistic director of the Sound and Fury Theatre Company, whose productions pioneer the immersive use of experimental sound design. What do you remember about winning your first Ivor in 2004? It was a great honour and an extraordinary day. People assume you must know about winning beforehand but I had no idea – it was a very well kept secret. So I was amazed. At The Ivors, you realise how much incredible talent there is in the room. To think that your fellow composers and songwriters have had an input into the decision, it makes you feel like you must be doing something right. Is that what makes The Ivors special? Definitely. There are dangers that other awards can actually be a celebration of things around the work, like an artist’s image. With film writing it can be especially difficult for people without industry insight to understand what the music is contributing to a film. So it’s very flattering to be recognised by your peers.

“The point about any of the scores I write is there has to be a genuine commitment to understand the characters and where they’re coming from.”

Did you enjoy writing the film score for Max? It was a great challenge, as the film is about a very sensitive subject. It looks at Hitler when he was a painter. The director cleverly pressed pause at that time in history and asked how an artist – someone with some sensitivity – could turn into the world’s worst tyrant. He wanted to tell that story and not become a slave to what we knew was about to unfold in history. That was true for the music too, which meant I was in the strange position of writing quite light-hearted music to one of the world’s worst villains. But that was necessary because it had to be genuine. The point about any of the scores I write is there has to be a genuine commitment to understand the characters and where they’re coming from, whoever they are.

How did winning the Ivor affect your career? It is a fantastic confidence boost of course. But Galileo said that self-doubt is the father of invention. So, while you have to wear the award with complete pride and honour, you have to remember to keep self-questioning and examining. Bizarrely, I think getting a big award like that actually pulls you back to thinking even harder about what you can do to up your game. You’re thinking, let’s not drop the ball now. What was it like writing the music for Any Human Heart? That was a hugely exciting and daunting project. The music had to embrace not only the vast nature of the story but also many of the extreme ‘close-ups’ into the characters. Getting the music to be both epic and also intimate and personal was a real challenge, but such a wonderful, passionate story was a real gift for a composer. Have you always loved writing for narrative? Yes, what pushed me into music writing in the first place was helping to tell stories. I love to think that music helps audiences and characters to get into the same room. It builds a bridge, which is very important. I almost feel that it’s a retrospective collaboration with the actors. And that of course only works through the director, the cameraman and everyone else involved. We’re all trying to give the audience the best possible insight into a character. I think the world needs that now more than ever. Anything that we can do to help people see what it’d be like to see the world from someone else’s point of view is an important activity. Music can help to do that.

Interview | Jazzie B

Jazzie B Founding member of the Soul II Soul collective, Jazzie B OBE was the inaugural recipient of The Ivors Inspiration Award in 2008. The pioneering British DJ, music producer, and entrepreneur first began gigging in London in the late 1970s and co-founded Soul II Soul in 1982. Guided by the philosophy ‘A happy face, a thumpin’ bass, for a lovin’ race’, their hits included Keep On Movin’ and Back To Life. Today, the collective has sold over 6.8 million albums in over 35 territories worldwide. What are your recollections of receiving The Ivors Inspiration Award? I remember being in quite a fluster getting ready to go. Soul II Soul never got any awards or acclaim in England on that sort of level before, so The Ivors was special. The Ivors are revered highly around the world and I was pretty gobsmacked to be honoured in that way. Funny, it was also the year that I got an OBE – you wait ages for a bus to come along and then two come at once. You were recognised for inspiration – are you aware of the artists you’ve inspired? What’s interesting is that the success of Soul II Soul came 20 years ago, so now the tornado has died down, I’ve had time to look back and reflect, and see what it’s meant to other people. You’re in a position where you can look at your work from another perspective and see how it has had an impact. Do you mind being asked about the Eighties? No, but it does make you feel prehistoric! You have to think we came from a time that was pre-digital, in that transient time between analogue and digital. We’ve gone from there to today, where people are making music in their bedrooms.

“Funny, it was also the year that I got an OBE – you wait ages for a bus to come along and then two come at once.”

What things do you miss from the early days? Our outlet was the club world as it made sense musically. Now you hear about new bands and artists all over the world, and that’s down to the evolution of technology. It’s a different energy, but the vibe is still the same. There is a lot more music out there today [than there was], but there has always been rubbish and the cream has always

risen to the top. Now it’s a bit sad to see how segregated music has become. I miss the days of Top of the Pops, when we paid homage to a chart. Do artists have it easier today? No, things just evolve. I DJ’d with someone for the first time recently who was using a USB stick. I was watching this guy doing his thing and I was thinking how I used to have to carry crates of records around London – and now he’s carrying a little chip. What has been Soul II Soul’s biggest contribution to music? I’m proud to be a part of black music being a popular choice. Some people said the first time they knew black people lived in Britain was when Soul II Soul came along. Soul II Soul had guys like Quincy Jones to thank for exposing the music before us. After us, you have someone like Dizzee Rascal, who is just himself, indigenous to where he grew up, and he’s not questioned about black or white. And now Dizzee has left a gap in the door for other great artists, like Labrinth. Now urban music is recognised across the board. After winning so many awards around the world, does The Ivors still feel special? The Ivors is not a joke, it’s a serious thing, and it’s something that I don’t take for granted. I remember being at [Ivors] ceremonies before, thinking maybe one day that will happen for me. It’s remarkable and there’s a real sense of wellbeing and belonging that an institution like The Ivors would take the time to recognise what Soul II Soul managed to do. It definitely holds a special place in my heart.
