Composer Congratulated On Winning Ivor Novello Award
Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín has congratulated local composer David Holmes on winning an Ivor Novello Award.
The Belfast man scooped the 'Best Original Film Score' award at a gala ceremony in London. He won the award for his musical composition for the action film '71 which was set in Belfast.
Ms Ní Chuilín said: "David's success is another example of local talent excelling in the field of creative arts. Winning an 'Ivor' is a truly momentous accolade and is highly valued in the music industry, as the selection process comes totally from within the sector.
"To have been selected by fellow composers is therefore true peer recognition for David and I congratulate him on this great honour. His success is well merited and he has again helped put Belfast and the north at the heart of musical achievement."
