Hipgnosis announced as first category sponsor for the 2023 A&R Awards

Hipgnosis Song Management is once again sponsoring the two big song-centric categories at this year’s A&R Awards: Song of the Year and Songwriter of the Year.

Presented by Music Business Worldwide, the A&R Awards is the UK music industry’s most enjoyable night out – and Hipgnosis has been a supporter from year one.

The event, which takes place at London’s Grand Connaught Rooms on the evening of Tuesday November 7th, sees icons and legends of the British music industry celebrated alongside the industry’s most successful hit-makers of the last year.

Hipgnosis founder and CEO Merck Mercuriadis said: “Once again we are very happy to be sponsoring both the Song Of The Year and the Songwriter Of The Year categories at the A&R Awards.

“Our long-term support of the Awards demonstrates our belief that song is the currency of our industry and without the song and songwriter there is no recorded music business, there is no publishing, merchandising or concert business.

“These incredible songs are the fabric of our society, so it’s both a responsibility and a privilege to celebrate the greatest songs and songwriters.”

“These incredible songs are the fabric of our society, so it’s both a responsibility and a privilege to celebrate the greatest songs and songwriters. That’s an important part of the Hipgnosis ethos.”
