Last night The Ivor Novello Awards took place at London’s Grosvenor House for the 61st time. The Ivors are one of the most prestigious awards for music creators as they celebrate, honour and reward excellence in British and Irish songwriting and composing.

We were delighted to be there as songwriters and composers were acknowledged for their contribution made to British music.

Winners included Damon Albarn, Adele, Happy Mondays and Portishead. See the full list of winners below!
