Arctic Monkeys, Hozier & George Ezra Among The Ivors 2019 Nominees

LONDON (CelebrityAccess) – Arctic Monkeys, Hozier and George Ezra are among the nominees for the 2019 Ivors, which were announced earlier today (April 24).

Now in their 64th year, The Ivors celebrate, honor and reward excellence in British and Irish songwriting and composing across categories for songs, albums, film, TV and video game scores. Works eligible for this year’s awards were commercially released in the UK in 2018 and have a British or Irish songwriting or composing contribution of at least a third.

“The works nominated for The Ivors 2019 are brilliantly diverse, and we’re delighted to see so many first-time nominees recognised,” said Ivors Academy chair Crispin Hunt in a statement. “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. Our congratulations to all nominated.”

This year’s winners will be revealed during a ceremony at Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London on May 23, sponsored by PRS For Music.
