BASCA Welcome Not everyone in this room today has heard of BASCA; the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers & Authors, the organisation behind The Ivors. It is owned by songwriters and composers themselves, who created The Ivors and developed them into the highly respected awards they have become. Over the past year BASCA has been transforming. We have new directors; new staff and expertise; new services which financially benefit all of our members; new events, training and socials; new branding; a new website and digital services; and we’re moving to new premises. We have a stronger relationship with our main sponsor PRS for Music, who we are grateful to for helping us make The Ivors such a special event. It is a very exciting time to join us. It doesn’t matter what type of music you write; BASCA needs you to continue, no matter where you are in your career. We need you to make sure we have a voice that is heard in parliament, and with the legislators, to make sure copyright remains the framework which underpins our livelihood. We need those already successful amongst you to encourage the next generation of writers and make sure they are able to earn from their music. We also need you so we can have some fun together and celebrate those who achieve excellence by honouring them here at The Ivors and at our sister awards the British Composer Awards and the Gold Badge Awards. BASCA is proud to honour all the winners and nominees this year. Congratulations!

BASCA is for life, not just for The Ivors One question: are you a member of BASCA? If you’re a nominee or a songwriter/composer winning one of these beautiful awards, we would like to invite you to join BASCA, the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers & Authors.
pinnacle of the songwriting calendar. We’re equally proud of our other award ceremonies, the British Composer Awards and the Gold Badge Awards. BASCA enjoys celebrating your success through our triumvirate of award ceremonies.
Why?
Copyright BASCA works for fair copyright law, the best possible royalty returns and for wider recognition of the priceless contribution you make to culture and society. Copyright turns your creativity and originality into economic and social value. BASCA fights on your behalf to lobby and advise political figures and policy makers, both in the UK and across the European Union. This year we have been actively lobbying the government about fair compensation and protecting the value of your copyright.
Well, you see, while our beloved Ivor Novello Awards are perhaps the highest-profile part of BASCA’s public-facing activity, organising magnificent events is far from all we do. At its heart, BASCA is a membership organisation. Our members come from all genres of songwriting and composing and, as a professional association, it is their interests that we protect and support.

Community BASCA fosters a community of songwriters and composers. Writing songs or composing music can be a solitary process but our members know that they are part of a much wider network. Our members range from internationally celebrated stars to fresh generations of music talent. We welcome new friends and reach out to those just starting their careers. Celebration BASCA is incredibly proud of The Ivors and all of the songwriters and composers – past, present and indeed, future – who are honoured and will be honoured at this ceremony. We’ve been presenting The Ivors for 59 years and it really is the

Could you please ask your team to accept our invitation on your behalf to register you as a member of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers & Authors? It’s easy to join via our website – www.basca.org.uk – and by filling out a simple form, you can ask PRS for Music to deduct the full annual BASCA membership fee from your July royalties.

Why?
Copyright BASCA works for fair copyright law, the best possible royalty returns and for wider recognition of the priceless contribution you make to culture and society. Copyright turns your creativity and originality into economic and social value. BASCA fights on your behalf to lobby and advise political figures and policy makers, both in the UK and across the European Union. This year we have been actively lobbying the government about fair compensation and protecting the value of your copyright.
Well, you see, while our beloved Ivor Novello Awards are perhaps the highest-profile part of BASCA’s public-facing activity, organising magnificent events is far from all we do. At its heart, BASCA is a membership organisation. Our members come from all genres of songwriting and composing and, as a professional association, it is their interests that we protect and support.

Our members range from internationally celebrated stars to fresh generations of music talent. We welcome new friends and reach out to those just starting their careers. Celebration BASCA is incredibly proud of The Ivors and all of the songwriters and composers – past, present and indeed, future – who are honoured and will be honoured at this ceremony.

The Ivors Committee Gary Osborne
Gabrielle at the 2008 Ivor Novello Awards
The Ivors Committee Apart from co-writing classics like These Foolish Things and A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square Eric Maschwitz was an Oscar-nominated screenwriter, Head of BBC Light Entertainment and founder and Chairman of The Songwriters Guild (now known as BASCA). 1956 American music dominated our airwaves so, in an attempt to encourage homegrown talent, Maschwitz introduced an award ceremony for British composers. It was named in honour of Ivor Novello; a young artist called Hazel Underwood created the statuette, a solid bronze depiction of Euterpe the Muse of music, Billy Butlin provided the sponsorship and The Ivors was up and running. In the 60’s radio producer/songwriter Brian Willey put The Ivors onto the BBC where it was presented by Brian Matthew with music from Joe Loss. Willey was then appointed Chairman of The Ivors Committee, a position he occupied with distinction for 40 years. By the mid-seventies The Ivors had found it’s ideal sponsor in PRS for Music, thus began the longest award sponsorship in entertainment history. In 1977 BASCA Director Mike Batt devised the current format, moving the event to the Grosvenor House and featuring an audio-visual presentation to accompany each award. Tony Hatch hosted that event after which Mike Smith did the honours until 1988 when Paul Gambaccini took over the role in which he’s excelled for a quarter of a century, apart from 1991 when Paul did the voiceover and Tim Rice presented the show. For many years the script was written and voiced by Tim Blackmore with visuals produced (as they still are) by Derek Healey. The voiceover is currently written by Mark Fishlock and delivered by Tom Robinson.

Over the years The Ivors have seen many changes but their ethos remains the same; British and Irish composers judged, without fear or favour, by their peers. So every year at this time I tip my hat to all the people named above, especially Mr. Maschwitz because, as long as The Ivors exist, these far from “foolish things” will remind me of him.

PRS for Music Guy Fletcher
Sponsor’s Welcome UK songwriters and composers are renowned for creating wonderful music that is enjoyed the world over. It is a privilege to be among some of the very best of those creators today. I would like to extend my congratulations to all the winners and nominees at this momentous 59th Ivor Novello Awards. Success, of course, wouldn’t be possible without the ongoing dedication of those across the industry who work behind the scenes to ensure that our members can earn a living. I’ve had a lifetime of writing songs and, while I have been lucky enough to enjoy success with a long list of famous names, the important thing is that my music rights - and the way they are managed globally by PRS for Music – still sustain me nearly 50 years on. Celebrating our members’ music is at the heart of our centenary this year. Ivor Novello was one of our early members and wrote the First World War song, Keep the Home Fires Burning. One hundred years later, we represent over 100,000 of the most influential and popular songwriters, composers and publishers of all time. These music creators provide the soundtrack to our lives. The Ivor Novello Awards and our 100 year anniversary serve to recognise their achievements on a truly global stage. We are so proud of what has been written, performed and accomplished in the last century – and we are very proud sponsors of this important event. Thank you for making music that continues to inspire. We will keep supporting you every step of the way for another 100 years.

PRS for Music Robert Ashcroft
PRS for Music PRS for Music has been supporting music creators since 1914. One hundred years ago, against the backdrop of the First World War, PRS for Music was formed with one member: operatic soprano sensation, Liza Lehmann. A century later, it boasts over 100,000 members in the UK, represents two million worldwide and contributes to a music industry worth over £3.5 billion. While the world of music has changed enormously in the last century – from sheet music to streaming – one thing hasn’t changed: our commitment to ensuring songwriters and composers are recognised and remunerated fairly for their work. If the evolving music market brings with it certain challenges, the popularity of our songwriters and composers on the world stage has never waned. In the last 12 months our members helped to fuel an 11.7% increase in PRS for Music international revenue. Total international royalties reached a record £201.1m and overall royalty revenue reached an all time high of £665.7m. The Ivors celebrates this success and I am proud that PRS for Music are sponsors of this esteemed event for the 40th year. I would like to offer my congratulations to all the songwriters, composers and publishers who have been nominated for an award this year – it is because of your talent that we are all here today. Music creators underpin a global creative industry – film, TV, online services and the world’s live music stages. Your talent and creativity inspires us all which is why we are passionate about supporting you for another 100 years.

“As soon as you try and control something, it lessens what it should be.”
Interview Emeli Sandé
Emeli Sandé’s debut album, Our Version Of Events, was the biggest selling album of 2012 in the UK, a year in which she also performed at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the London Olympics. She followed that by winning a brace of Ivors the following year, when Next to Me scooped both the PRS for Music Most Performed Work and Best Song Musically and Lyrically awards. After a year away from the limelight, she’s now working on a follow-up album for release later this year…
Emeli Sandé How did it feel to be acknowledged by your fellow songwriters at The Ivors last year? It means heaps. Because I was a writer before being an artist, having respect between writers is really important to me. I remember when I saw Amy [Winehouse] winning the same award for Love Is A Losing Game [in 2008], which is one of my favourite songs, so it really felt like a dream come true. Were you ready for the success of Our Version Of Events? No, I wasn’t ready at all! I wrote an album I really loved with people I loved working with and then it was a bit of an explosion. Now that I’ve had this time off, it’s been the first time I’ve really been able to look at the awards and think, “Wow, now I’m out of this crazy storm, that was amazing”. I’m very grateful, but it was very unexpected. Was it important for you to take time off after that success? Absolutely. It got to a point where I was loving doing the shows, but I felt like I wasn’t evolving. I wanted to be in a position where I could live and then come back with something that’s interesting to hear. Being a celebrity has never really been something that I’m comfortable with. What I’m comfortable with is creating and I wanted to be a better musician, so not having the time and space to do that started to really frustrate me. When you sit down to write a song, do you know if it will be for yourself or for someone else? I’ve learned that it’s the one thing you can’t control. As soon as you try and control something, it lessens what it should be. I just write, stuff comes out and then suddenly you think, “Oh, that would be amazing for that movie” or, “That voice would sound amazing on it”. Sometimes I’m singing about a very personal story but usually everything’s open. But if I’m working with another artist, that’s a completely different process. That’s more helping them to say what they want to say. Which songwriters have most inspired you? Carole King, who I met last year. That was really incredible – she’s someone who really knows their craft, she can write for anybody and her songs can be interpreted in so many different ways. I also love Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder… Mainly because they’re storytellers. Being a celebrity was the last of their priorities, it was just about telling these stories and helping people feel less lonely. Is making an album a different process the second time around? It’s different because, the first time, nobody knew me. We were just kids putting out music and it really surprised us what happened. There’s definitely expectation and anticipation, but I really like how it’s sounding. This time, it’s about not focusing on that expectation, because that’s when the best music comes out. I’ve also been working on an EP and I really want to write a musical. And where do your keep your Ivor Novello Awards? They made it to the top of my piano ‘cos that’s where it starts, music and lyrics. I love those two ladies, they’re an inspiration.

Interview John Powell
John Powell is one of the UK’s leading composers of film music, scoring over 50 feature films. He’s also been prolific when it comes to winning Ivors, picking up Best Original Film Score on no less than four occasions; for Shrek (2001), Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006), Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) and How to Train Your Dragon (2010). The latter also earned him an Oscar nomination, and he’s currently working on the score to the sequel, due out later this year.
“Ultimately, I am trying to get back to writing music just for music’s sake.”
John Powell Do you have a favourite of your four wins? Dragons, because I got to go to the ceremony. The one before that (2009), my wife went and got to do a speech. She said, “What am I going to say?” and I said, “I don’t know, just flash them your tits!” But she didn’t, fortunately. The Ivors gives me an umbilical cord back to home. I live in Los Angeles but it’s wonderful to go back and winning just felt like, “They haven’t forgotten me”. What else makes The Ivors important? It’s a phenomenal talent pool that is picking these things. It’s your British peers and that’s a terribly significant group when it comes to music within the world. It’s a very pleasant feeling that this private group of people is listening to your work and thinking, “Yeah, that’s pretty good”. What’s the most surreal moment you’ve had while working in Hollywood? There was one moment on Hancock with the director Peter Berg, who is great fun – he encourages you the way he would encourage an American football team. He saw a piece of music on my piano called The Lark Ascending. I was trying to get the end right, where Will Smith’s character was in this big running, jumping and flying scene. Peter was going, “Come on John, give me some of that fucking lark ascending!” as if I was about to throw a 50-yarder! Is there a score that’s particularly inspired your work? There’s one moment I always use as the perfection of arranging skills and musical invention; Barn-Raising Dance from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. It has such growth to it. It seems to be getting faster and changing up keys the whole time but, of course, it isn’t. It’s these arrangement tricks and orchestration tricks that allow the whole thing to build and build continuously.

Were you always destined to compose film music or could you have ended up doing something else entirely? I’m not sure I was really heading for film. I wanted to write and make music, but didn’t know how. Coming out of college and not having any money, when given the opportunity to write jingles, you think, “This is fantastic”. Those lead to short films and, before you know it, you’re heading in a certain direction. I’ve got to a place with the films I’ve done where it’s been very exciting. But, ultimately, I am trying to get back to writing music just for music’s sake. So what’s next? I’m writing an oratorio. I’ll probably try and record it at the end of this year and perform it next year. It’s a First World War requiem, about one of the characters in the Kaiser’s army. I did want to perform it for the centenary of the [start of the] war, but the thing about the concert world is, you have to prepare years in advance. As long as I get it done by 2018, I’m OK! And where do you keep your Ivor Novello Awards? I’ve spread them all over the house. There’s one on a mantelpiece, one in the bedroom, one in the bathroom and one is in my son’s bedroom. Just to remind him that, if he doesn’t get to see me, there might be a fairly good reason why.

Interview Ben Drew
“The one thing that always stood out to me was a good song.”
Plan B – aka Ben Drew – scored a rare hat-trick at The Ivors in 2011, picking up Songwriter of the Year, the Album Award for The Defamation Of Strickland Banks and the PRS for Music Most Performed Work for She Said. He was nominated again in 2013 for Ill Manors (Best Contemporary Song and Best Original Film Score), which marked his return to hip-hop music after the soul sounds of Strickland Banks. He’s now also a successful actor, runs his own publishing company (Temperamental Music), and is working on his fourth album.
Ben Drew How did it feel to win three Ivors in 2011? I felt I was overlooked for a long time, not by The Ivors but by everyone, so that made up for the years of hard work I put into music without being recognised. The judges are your peers, which gives it integrity. It’s my proudest achievement. What are your memories of that year’s ceremony? I’d flown back from America so I remember being exhausted! America was difficult as well, I’d come back feeling a bit dejected and then I won an Ivor, then I won another and then a third one… it made up for all that stuff. We had drinks afterwards but I had to get on a plane and go back to work. That’s the one thing I regret from all the success: I couldn’t take my foot off the gas. I’ve got the Ivors here, I know they’re real, but it would’ve been nice to let it soak in and enjoy it a bit more. Was fame different to how you’d imagined? No, I was pretty accurate with the whole Strickland Banks concept. You work hard and, through that talent, you get fame and get put on a pedestal and then, when you’re there, people want to knock you off. Maybe the Strickland Banks album is a really dark depiction of the ugly side of fame, but it’s still a reality. You’ve worked in several different genres. Do you know when you sit down to write that it’ll be a hip-hop song or a soul song? It’s like when you’re hungry, “What do I feel like eating today?” Because I’m versatile and understand different genres, it can be, “I want to make hip-hop music today” or “I want to make a soul song”. I’m in the studio at the minute and I’m doing songs that sound like indie rock songs, folk songs, reggae, hip-hop, dance music, I’m just going in there and letting the creativity flow. Will that be for your next album? I guess so. I’m collaborating with my band members. I feel like the next album may not be a Plan B album, it may be a collaborative album under a different name. But we’ll see what happens.

Which songwriters have inspired you? One song can inspire me to write ten. Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car, Eric Clapton’s Tears in Heaven – any music that can bring a tear to my eye or put me in a really deep place is the stuff that inspired me. As a kid, I went from stuff like Nirvana and then listened to The Prodigy and underground jungle music. I was like a nomad, jumping from one thing to the next. But the one thing that always stood out to me was a good song. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? I’d started writing song ideas but never had anything finished. My godfather, Keith Coggins, taught me the structure of The Tracks of My Tears by Smokey Robinson. He said, “Once you master that structure, you can start messing around”. As soon as he taught me that, I was writing and finishing songs. Suddenly I could do gigs, I had a manager, record labels were sniffing round… That piece of advice was what really set me off.
