Martyn is to Receive Gold Badge Award to celebrate his unique contribution to the UK songwriting and composing community.

The 44th BASCA Gold Badge Awards will take place on Monday 2nd October 2017 at the Savoy hotel, London.  They are sponsored by PPL and PRS for Music and recognise exceptional people who have made a unique contribution to music. The Gold Badge Awards celebrate the unique contribution of twelve individuals, who have supported or inspired the UK songwriting and composing community. The ceremony will acknowledge contributions to the worlds of jazz, contemporary classical, film & television music, and songwriting. Each individual receiving an award is a game changer, and has made a lasting contribution to the professional lives of the community BASCA represents. Launched in 1974 to acknowledge those in the music industry who support or promote the work of songwriters and composers, The Gold Badge Awards have recognised over 500 outstanding individuals to date. Alongside Martyn this year, Gold Badge Award recipients for 2017 are: Gary Crosby OBE, Susanna Eastburn, Michael Gibbs, Tim Ingham, Sarah Liversedge, Paulette Long OBE, Steve Parr, Maggie Rodford, Emeli Sandé MBE, George Vass and Jon Webster.
