The O2 Silver Clef Awards is an annual UK music awards lunch which has been running since 1976.[1]
History
[edit]The Silver Clef fundraising committee was founded in 1976 by musicians and managers from across the British music industry, who wanted to honour and award music artists whilst raising funds for Nordoff Robbins. The event went on to become the annual Silver Clef Awards and Lunch, an important date in the social and business calendar of the music industry, with even members of the Royal Family attending as guests of honour. The Silver Clef initiative eventually expanded to the USA, where members of the music community there arranged the first American Silver Clef Award Dinner and Auction in 1989. The funds from that event benefited the Nordoff Robbins Centre for Music Therapy based at New York University.
The 44th annual event was held in July 2019 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, honouring music greats including Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Dua Lipa, and raised £835,000.[2]
