This is the 65th year Ivor Novello Awards have been presented at The Ivors; the ceremony dedicated to honouring songwriting and screen composition. Originally taking place in May, the presentation of awards was postponed to September due to COVID-19.
Collecting his first Ivor award, the judges described Jamie Cullum's work as “beautifully emotive, with an exceptionally crafted melody”.
