MMF Rolls Out Red Carpet

James Fisher, general secretary of the MMF, told PLASA Media: "As in previous years, we will be inviting a number of international artists to take part in the awards ceremony. They will play a key role in inducting well-known industry figures into the British Music Roll of Honour and honouring the recipient of the Peter Grant Award for outstanding achievement." Since its inauguration in 1995, the MMF's British Music Roll of Honour has marked the achievements of a wide range of industry luminaries including Rod Smallwood, Muff Winwood, John Kennedy, Gail Colson, Harvey Goldsmith, Barrie Marshal and Rupert Perry. This year's inductees are of equally high calibre, but in keeping with tradition their identities will remain secret until nearer the time. The event will also feature the BDO/MMF Manager of the Year Award which last year went to Rob Holden, David Gray’s manager as well as the Producer of the Year Award, which was introduced in 1997 and has so far been presented to Mike Hedges, Guy Chambers - Steve Power, Ray Hedges and Artful Dodger - Mark Hill.Tickets for the Roll of Honour are now on sale and all enquiries should be directed to the MMF on Tel: +44 (0)20 8741 2555, Fax: +44 (0)20 8741 4856.
