BMI congratulates our members as well as international affiliates, who license their music through BMI in the U.S., for their impressive showing yesterday at the 61st Ivor Novello Awards, held at the Grosvenor House in London. Acknowledged as one of the most prestigious awards for music creators, the Ivors celebrate the writers of individual works released in the UK during the award year, as well as the contribution songwriters and composers have made to British music.
