The winners for this year’s Ivor Novello Awards have been revealed.
Little Simz won best album while rapper Dave and producer Fraser T Smith took home best contemporary song.
Meanwhile, newcomer Mysie picked up the new rising star award while songwriter of the year went to Steve Mac. Steve co-wrote Mabel's Don't Call Me Up, South Of The Border by Ed Sheeran featuring Camilla Cabello and Cardi B and Better Man and Harder by Jax Jones and Bebe Rexha.
Jamie Cullum received best song musically and lyrically for his track The Age Of Anxiety, and the award for the best television soundtrack was given to Labrinth for Euphoria.
The PRS for Music Most Performed Work accolade went to Calvin Harris, Jamie Hartman, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man and Troy Miller for Giant.
Now in its 65th year, the awards celebrate, honour and reward excellence in British and Irish songwriting and composing across categories for songs, album, film, TV and video game scores.
The prestigious ceremony was set to take place at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on September 2, having been postponed earlier this year, but was later cancelled as the pandemic developed. The winners were instead unveiled by Matt Wilkinson on Apple Music 1.
