Novello

Despite being a decorated artist, winning the 2022 Mercury Prize and Brit, Mobo and Ivor Novello awards for her fourth album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, Simz says she still worried she wasn't talented enough after the fall-out.

The band are speaking backstage at the Ivor Novello Awards, where they've just become the first Irish Group to be given fellowship of the Ivors' songwriting academy.

The ceremony also saw awards for rising stars Lola Young and Myles Smith, while U2 became the first Irish band to win the fellowship of the Ivor Novello songwriting academy.

A self-deprecating Charli XCX downplayed her talents as a songwriter, as she was named songwriter of the year at the Ivor Novello Awards.

Pop singer-songwriter Lola Young leads the nominations for this year's prestigious Ivor Novello Awards, with Charli XCX, Ghetts and Jade among the other stars in contention.
