BASCA Welcome

Pickled beetroot, Rosary goat’s cheese parfait, spiced gingerbread crumble, raspberry and beetroot puree (v)

On behalf of BASCA, it’s my great pleasure to welcome you all to the 2018 Ivor Novello Awards. As we gather for the 63rd year to celebrate British and Irish songwriters and composers, we’ve ample evidence the world’s love affair with their writing is far from over. The figures alone prove it – each year, a British artist sells around one in six albums worldwide. But beyond the statistics, there’s an unquantifiable magic to our music that has fans from across the globe flocking to various landmarks to capture a piece of it – from the 100 Club to Penny Lane or Quadrophenia Alley.

Blackened miso Atlantic cod, baby leek, samphire and caper salsa, smoked garlic mash, green onion cream sauce Passion fruit cheesecake, shortbread, strawberry jelly (v) Coffee and Petits Fours

One thing’s for sure, without these songwriters and composers there would be no such rich musical past to celebrate – nor would we be here to honour the current generation of creators that carry on this legacy. Huge congratulations to all nominees and winners today, and to the publishers who support them.

Please join BASCA to speak with a united voice for composers of all genres, so that we continue to have a wealth of rich and diverse music to celebrate.

This year marks some of our most important campaigning yet – as we fight for legislation that will protect future generations of writers.

A huge thanks to the judging panels and The Ivors Committee – their invaluable skill and experience as members of the writing community make these awards all the more special for the recipients. We couldn’t run this event without our sponsor PRS for Music – thank you for your continued loyalty and support, which is so highly valued. Finally, many thanks to Paul Gambaccini who will steer us through today’s celebrations for the 31st time – his wit, charm and genuine love for these awards have become a legendary part of the proceedings.

IVOR NOVELLO AWA R D S

Once again we meet to celebrate excellence in songwriting and composing in popular music. Over the six decades The Ivors has existed we have been at the forefront of pop music trends – categories in 1956 covered ‘light orchestral music’ and ‘swing composition’, we now have ‘Best Contemporary Song’ and ‘Best Original Video Game Score’. However ‘Best Song Musically and Lyrically’ has remained as a stalwart since 1957!

The works nominated for and winning Ivor Novello Awards are an important musical and cultural reflection of our times.

From Lionel Bart via Lennon & McCartney, Elton John, Kate Bush, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Annie Lennox, David Arnold, Radiohead, Guy Chambers, Amy Winehouse to Skepta – the list of previous Ivor winners makes a Who’s Who of composition genius. Who will win in 2018? It is always such an exciting day – and my huge thanks to the BASCA staff, in particular Fran Matthews and Cindy Truong who organise The Ivors with such aplomb.

And please do remember the organisation behind the glitz. BASCA is needed now more than ever – the music industry is slowly starting to turn the corner from the ravages of illegal downloading but it is painfully slow, and songwriters and composers are not yet getting their fair share of the deals. However not only do we fight to protect copyright we organise many training events, workshops and conferences each year, arrange pro bono legal advice, negotiate dozens of useful discounts for equipment, studio services and software, host networking events across the UK and work with the best Universities and Conservatoires in order to encourage the next generation of writers. If you are not yet a member – join us.

PRS for Music Nigel Elderton

Sponsor’s Welcome Today we are here to celebrate the 63rd Ivor Novello Awards, and yet another year of outstanding music creation.

FOR CREATIVITY

As PRS Chairman, I am once again incredibly excited to be taking part in honouring so many great songwriters and composers, who have left an indelible mark on our lives with their work.

There is no greater praise than that which comes from your contemporaries, and as an annual celebration The Ivors enjoys the enviable reputation of being an awards ceremony that sees talented individuals chosen by their peers.

It is fitting that the statuette is based on Euterpe, the Greek Muse of music and lyric poetry, as the winners and their works are hugely influential on the world of culture, just as they are in turn inspired by it.

Alongside the wide range of awards at this event today, I am exceptionally pleased to be presenting the PRS for Music Special International Award, an accolade that acknowledges our great appreciation for a songwriter whose work has been performed and embraced the world over, and has become part of the soundtrack of popular culture.

I hope you all enjoy today’s celebrations!

Music wouldn’t exist without the work of songwriters, composers and publishers. We’re here to represent them and ensure that they are rewarded for their creations.

PRS for Music It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Ivor Novello Awards, presented by BASCA in association with PRS for Music.

FOR COLLABORATION

Now in its 63th year, the Ivor Novello Awards continues its mission to recognise the very best songwriters and composers. Over the years, more than 1,000 statuettes have been given to award winners who have been honoured by colleagues and peers alike.

This year’s nominees showcase a remarkable breadth of creativity within British music, in an industry that, according to latest figures, was worth £4.4 billion to the UK economy.

Throughout decades of change in the music industry, and over the last few years real, positive growth, The Ivors have continued to celebrate music creators and their publishers, including those whose works are being recognised here today, as being among the best in the world.

It is an honour for PRS to continue to support the Ivor Novello Awards, and all that they stand for and the creativity they recognise. Providing our members with the best service possible, and upholding the value of their work, are at the very heart of what we do at PRS for Music, both in the UK and right across the globe.

Please join me in congratulating all of the nominees and winners today at the 63rd Ivor Novello Awards.

Protecting the value of music is a big job. Which is why we partner with others who share our common goals, to build a secure future for music creators everywhere.

Ivor Novello Awards

Ivor Novello Awards The Ivor Novello Awards [The Ivors] were created by BASCA in 1956.

Named in honour of Ivor Novello, Britain’s most successful and distinguished theatrical composer at the time, the aim of the awards was to shine a spotlight on the excellence of British and Irish songwriters and composers in an age when international music dominated the British airwaves.

To be eligible for the nominated award categories, works must have a British or Irish writing contribution of at least one third, according to the works registration. The ‘Gift of BASCA’ awards recognise a sustained contribution to British music.

Presented by the writing community, with no outside influence, The Ivors truly represent peer recognition. Each nominated category, with the exception of PRS for Music Most Performed Work, is judged by a separate, autonomous panel of writers. The Ivors Committee, similarly formed of songwriters and composers, then decide the identity of those celebrated for their contribution to music.

The first award ceremony took place on 11 March 1956 at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London. The statuette, a representation of Euterpe (the Greek Muse of music and lyric poetry), was designed by Hazel Underwood and to this day, is still cast in solid bronze. For over 60 years statuettes have been presented to songwriters, composers and their music publishers in recognition of the excellence of their compositions.

A full archive of our nominations and winners history is available at www.theivors.com The Ivors continue to be owned and presented by BASCA, and since 1974 have been sponsored by PRS for Music.

Stephen King’s horror masterpiece comes to life for a new generation. In Derry, Maine, seven young friends unite against a terrifying supernatural creature that has been haunting their small town for centuries.

Awards International Achievement

International Achievement One of his most famous songs might have been entitled When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going, but the going has mainly been smooth as far as Billy Ocean is concerned.

A serious contender for the crown of Britain’s most successful ever soul/R&B star, Ocean’s career has been blessed with the sort of hits that last a lifetime, all enhanced by those silky tones. Born in Trinidad, Ocean moved to London when he was seven and, while he’s always been hugely popular in the UK, this award acknowledges the incredible success he’s also enjoyed overseas.

Indeed, Leslie Sebastian Charles’ stage name was well-chosen, for his songs have been crossing oceans ever since his song Love Really Hurts Without You hit the US Top 30 in 1975. British R&B wasn’t renowned for travelling back then but, ever since, he’s been a fixture on the US charts, scoring three Number One pop hits in the ‘80s in the form of Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run), There’ll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry) and Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car. He loves a song title bracket or comma, does Billy – and the world has loved him back, with Ocean also racking up chart hits in places as far flung as Australia, Germany, Canada, the Netherlands and New Zealand during a remarkable chart run spanning the albums Suddenly, Love Zone and Tear Down These Walls.

Ocean put his career on hold in the ‘90s in order to raise a family but, such was the enduring nature of his songwriting that many of his hits remain airplay fixtures around the world to this day. And, when he did return with 2009’s Because I Love You, his first album in 16 years, the world was waiting to embrace him all over again. He also returned to the road, touring everywhere from Dubai to Mozambique. Proof that, while the going may not be so tough, Billy Ocean is still more than happy to get going.

Awards The Ivors Classical Music Award

The Ivors Classical Music Award This year’s Ivor Novello Award recipients list is not exactly short on high achievers. But, even against such contenders, if there were to be an award for productivity, innovation and versatility, pioneering composer Thea Musgrave would surely be in a field of her own.

Born in Scotland and trained at the Conservatoire in Paris, her music career has proved breath-taking in its scope and devastating in its impact on every sector of the classical world. Her work has been performed around the world, often with her conducting her own productions (including the 1977 premiere of her Mary, Queen of Scots opera at the Edinburgh International Festival). She has enjoyed both academic acknowledgement (two Guggenheim Fellowships, multiple honorary degrees) and achievement (with Professor roles at prestigious colleges such as Queens College at the City University of New York and the University of California, Santa Barbara), huge critical acclaim and public devotion. And, most importantly, she has composed landmark works in choral music, symphonic music, chamber music and opera.

Whatever field she works in, Musgrave’s work is always characterised by her dramatic sensibilities and some serious musical muscle. Not for nothing did the BBC stage a special presentation of her music, entitled Total Immersion: Thea Musgrave, at the Barbican in 2014. Three concerts in a single day, encompassing her chamber, choral and symphonic works, showed that she has range to die for.

Perhaps because of her mastery of these multiple areas, Musgrave’s work often crosses barriers and always has a dramatic effect, with instruments often placed in different locations in order to enhance their impact.

Musgrave’s own work has taken her to many different locations over her incredible career. Indeed, she has resided in the US since 1972. But today she comes home to the UK to pick up a well-earned Ivor and to give us all the chance to salute a unique and indefatigable classical talent.

Awards PRS for Music Outstanding Contribution to British Music

PRS for Music Outstanding Contribution to British Music “Mixing pop and politics, he asks me what the use is,” sang Billy Bragg on his brilliant 1988 hit Waiting for The Great Leap Forward, “I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses.” It’s the sort of couplet that could only have come from the great bard of Barking, Billy Bragg, a man whose songs have expertly skewered both pop and politics like no one else over the last 30 years.

Bragg’s wit was at its most self-deprecating on that song, but, in fact, his contribution to both British music and British life in general has been the very definition of ‘outstanding’ ever since he emerged as a self-styled “one-man Clash” in the mid-80s.

Over that time, his songwriting has grown increasingly sophisticated and versatile, as he’s taken on everything from full-on chart hits (Sexuality, A New England) to obscure Americana (the Mermaid Avenue and Shine A Light albums).

But the core of his writing has always been simple, direct and distinctly English, getting to the heart of the matter and, often, to matters of the heart.

Because, while Bragg made his name as a political writer – and, over the years, has proved himself to be one of the most passionate, considered campaigners in music – his love songs and wider social observations are every bit as inspirational. For every Between The Wars there’s a Greetings To The New Brunette; for every To Have And Have Not a You Woke Up My Neighbourhood.

Anyone who’s ever attended one of his concerts will know they’re an irresistible combination of political rally, stand-up comedy show and joyous indie disco, as multi-faceted as the man himself. Which is why this accolade is richly deserved, a fitting acknowledgement of how the songs he’s written have shaped the country he lives in. No embarrassment or excuses needed.

The Miniaturist

A haunting, sumptuous period thriller, The Miniaturist tells the story of a house where, beneath the lavish beauty and privilege, lie forbidden passions and dangerous secrets.

In 1686, 18-year-old Nella Oortman travels to the wealthiest quarter of Amsterdam to begin a new life as the wife of affluent merchant, Johannes Brandt.

Composed by: Dan Jones UK Publisher: Faber Music and Sony/ATV Music Publishing (UK) Ltd

Johannes presents her with an extraordinary wedding gift; a cabinet house replica of their home. It is to be furnished by an elusive Miniaturist, whose tiny creations mirror what is happening within the house in unexpected ways – seemingly predicting and unravelling the future with unsettling accuracy.

As Nella begins to uncover the secrets of the cabinet house and those of the Brandt household she realises the escalating dangers that await them all. Does the Miniaturist hold their fate in her hands – and will she be the key to their salvation or the architect of their downfall?

Awards Songwriter of the Year

Songwriter of the Year Edward Christopher Sheeran has not exactly been short of accolades in the past year or so.

Ever since his blockbusting ÷ album was released last year, his path has been strewn with awards and record-breaking achievement. The biggest selling record in the UK and worldwide in 2017, he won a BRIT, Grammys and was presented with everything from Music Week’s Artist Of The Year to an OBE, while also selling out stadiums around the world.

But, even amongst such wins, you suspect The Ivors nod for Songwriter of the Year will mean the most to the Suffolk superstar. Because, more than any other global megastar, Sheeran places all due emphasis on the crafting of his tunes. ÷ is a stunning body of work not just because of the numbers it’s racked up, but because of the sheer range of its songs, as Sheeran moves from the foot-stomping bar room anthem of Galway Girl to the classic balladeering of Perfect and all points in between.

Indeed, in an increasingly ephemeral business, Sheeran’s ability to craft songs for the ages – the tunes you’ll be hearing at weddings and funerals long after everyone’s forgotten Shape of You and Castle On The Hill’s staggering firstweek streaming numbers – is what marks him apart from pretty much every other young songwriter on the planet.

Sheeran’s unique feat of landing every single track from ÷ in the Top 20 may have, ultimately, been down to streaming and a quirk in the chart system. But the truth is, none of those tracks sounded out of place as a big hit. And none of Sheeran’s songs sound out of place when put up against the very best. That’s why he’ll keep winning things, and that’s why, after today, he’ll have the Songwriter of the Year award nestling alongside all his other honours. ÷ has conquered once again.

Awards The Ivors Inspiration Award

The Ivors Inspiration Award It’s one thing to inspire the artists that follow you onto the world stage.

Shane MacGowan has done plenty of that; you can trace the lineage of his brilliantly bleary-eyed songwriting everywhere from the Dropkick Murphys’ punk rock blasts to The Libertines’ gutter-dwelling, stargazing romance.

But MacGowan – a unique musical force in all sorts of ways – is unusual in that his poetic work also influenced his peers, and even some iconic stars whose careers preceded his.

Not for nothing did Joe Strummer once call him “one of the best writers of the century”. Nor Elvis Costello, who produced The Pogues’ 1985 classic Rum, Sodomy & The Lash or Tom Waits, who once declared: “Shane has the gift. I believe him. He knows how to tell a story.”

And, thankfully, MacGowan has been more than happy to tell those stories and share that gift over the years. Ever since MacGowan emerged from the punk scene (his band The Nipple Erectors were a stalwart support act during punk’s first wave), the raw reality of his work has been obvious to anyone who heard it, whether the songs date from his time with The Pogues or his solo career.

This, after all, is the man who brought bittersweet authenticity into the cheesy world of the Christmas song, with the most-cherished festive single of all time, Fairytale Of New York. A man who can do wild-eyed party songs (Fiesta, Sally MacLennane) or sad-eyed, wistful ballads (A Rainy Night In Soho, A Pair Of Brown Eyes) with equal effectiveness. And a man who deserves to be hailed for much more than his well-documented love of a drink.

Today’s well-deserved Ivor should help with that. But all you really need to be inspired by Shane MacGowan is access to his incredible catalogue. Just ask Tom Waits.

Awards Outstanding Song Collection

Outstanding Song Collection Can’t Get You Out Of My Head – the classic 2001 Kylie Minogue single co-written by Cathy Dennis with Rob Davis – may ostensibly be about an obsessive relationship with an ex-lover. But those lyrics also neatly sum up the nation’s relationship with Dennis’ catalogue of tunes. Because, over the last 25-plus years, Cathy has written countless songs that no one can remove from their brains.

Dennis started life as an artist, and a highly successful one too. But it’s as a writer for others that she has truly excelled, and that’s why she’s being honoured today. Because, ever since she became the driving force behind S Club 7’s effervescent ‘90s pop tunes (Never Had A Dream Come True, Reach, Natural et al), it’s been obvious that she was born to do this.

So her catalogue comprises such gigantic smashes as Britney Spears’ Toxic, Katy Perry’s I Kissed A Girl, Sugababes’ About You Now and Galantis’ Runaway (U & I), as well as a host of brilliant material for everyone from Will Young to Kelly Clarkson.

Can’t Get You Out Of My Head – a stunning, state of the art pop record so unstoppable that it rebooted even Minogue’s stellar career – won her three Ivors in 2002, while she picked up another the following year for Young’s Anything Is Possible. But it’s her sheer consistency and creativity, not to mention her ability to always stay one step ahead of the pop zeitgeist that is behind this year’s big prize.

That’s why she’s still in incredible demand from the world’s biggest stars, and why we couldn’t forget her tunes, even if we wanted to. After all, hits may come and hits may go, but Cathy Dennis songs are forever. Long may they stay stuck in our heads.

Awards PRS for Music Special International Award

PRS for Music Special International Award There are stars. There are superstars. But – hello! – if it’s an all-time great you’re looking for, then Lionel Richie certainly fits the bill.

Richie has been at the top pretty much since he joined The Commodores in 1968, but took things to a whole new level when he launched his solo career in 1982. He’s won five Grammys, an Oscar and received the Songwriters Hall Of Fame’s highest honour, the Johnny Mercer Award.

And he’s sold over 90 million records around the world.

Richie is incredibly popular pretty much everywhere (he’s a genuine phenomenon across the Arab world, for example) but a significant chunk of those 90 million sales have been in the UK (he’s had no fewer than six Top 10 studio albums here), a country that has always held him in great affection.

And the feeling seems to be mutual; when he relaunched his solo career in 2015, he chose to do it at Glastonbury Festival. The resulting gig has entered the annals of Worthy Farm history, with even Richie himself – a man who, let’s face it, has probably seen most things during his stellar career – moved to remark, “There’s people here that know these songs better than I do”.

Then again, the Lionel Richie song collection is pretty memorable. This is a man who has mastered everything from lovelorn ballad (Endless Love, Truly) to tasteful soul (All Night Long (All Night)) to full-on party tunes (Dancing On The Ceiling). His UK chart record is particularly remarkable: that Glastonbury performance sent his Lionel Richie & The Commodores: The Definitive Collection soaring to the top of the album charts, while Hello spent six weeks at No.1 here back in 1984.

And, 50 years after we first said hello to Lionel Richie, no one’s ready to say goodbye just yet.
