The Ivors recognise excellence and achievement in songwriting amongst British and Irish artists for singles and albums as well as TV, film and video game scores.

Speaking about this year’s nominees, The Ivors Academy Chair Crispin Hunt said: “The works nominated for The Ivors 2019 are brilliantly diverse, and we’re delighted to see so many first-time nominees recognised. As the only peer-nominated music award in the country, they are a fantastic reflection of the exciting emerging talent of British and Irish music creators today.
