In the first event of its kind in six years, the Ivors Academy Honours uphold the legacy of the Gold Badge Awards, which ran from 1974 to 2019. From Bob Geldof to Peter Gabriel the Gold Badge Awards celebrated those who advocated for a thriving community of songwriters and composers.
Roberto Neri, CEO of The Ivors Academy, said, “Songwriters and composers create the music we all love, yet their contributions are often undervalued. They deserve a fairer, more respectful and supportive environment to thrive. The Ivors Academy Honours shines a light on individuals who make a lasting, positive impact on music creators’ lives and careers. I’m pleased to announce this new, dedicated awards ceremony as a powerful way to champion their impact and influence.”
