Sony Awards
Two programmes that I work on, albeit in small ways, have won Sony Awards. They are The Simon Mayo Programme, I'll be there Thursday at 3pm on radio five and Saturday Live (radio four). It's kinda good. Went to the South Bank today and had various meetings. The meeting with Rebecca Swift from The Literary Consultancy, was very productive.
In the evening I travelled to Hammersmith and the home of George Devine, the founder of the rebirth of The Royal Court Theatre. His home has a blue plaque on the wall and looks out upon the Thames. Five of us, the judging panel for The George Devine Award finally whittled down the scripts to one clear winner. The prize is £10,000, ($20,000) - it's alot of money.
