Ivor Novello Awards dished out in London
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 20 May 2011
Songwriters descended on Grosvenor House in London yesterday lunchtime to pick up awards for their talents. Plan B was the big winner, picking up Songwriter Of The Year, Best Album and the PRS For Music Most Performed Work Award for ‘She Said’. Villagers won the coveted Best Song Musically And Lyrically Award, while Dizzee Rascal received the Inspiration Award.
Speaking to the BBC, Plan B said that he had never expected ‘She Said’ to be successful, saying: “I thought it was a good song. I thought it was a cool song. But the more I heard it, the more I disliked it”.
