Plan Get Underway For The Music Producers Guild Awards

Plans for the second Music Producers Guild Awards are already underway to ensure that this critically acclaimed event on 11th February 2009 is another resounding success.
The Awards ceremony will once again take place at the Café de Paris in London. This dazzling and opulent venue provides the backdrop to an Awards ceremony that is rapidly promising to be an annual highlight on the music industry's calendar.
The winner of the Music Producers Guild Producer of the Year Award automatically receives a BRIT Award for Best Producer. There are also categories for engineers, mixers, re-mixers and programmers, plus awards for Best Mastering Engineer, Best Newcomer and Unsung Hero (who could be anyone from a runner to a studio receptionist).
Winning a Music Producers Guild Award is not just an honour - it can also help boost business, as British Grove Studios, winner of the 2009 Award for Best Recording Facility, has discovered.
Studio Manager David Stewart said: "We were thrilled to be recognised as the UK's Best Recording Facility, especially as the Award was voted for by working producers and engineers who have plenty of opportunity to compare different facilities on the market.
"Since winning our Music Producers Guild Award, I'm delighted to say that we've seen a steady increase in enquiries. Undoubtedly the great publicity we received has been very good for business and that is always welcome, especially in these uncertain economic times."
British Grove Studios is currently busy putting the finishing touches to Mark Knopfler's new album and has also recently the cast album for the hit musical Sister Act.
Headline sponsors for the Music Producers Guild Awards 2010 are Prism Sound and SADiE.
These awards recognise the enormous contribution that recording professionals make to the success of the UK's music industry and present sponsors with an ideal opportunity to raise their profile within the recording community.
Sadie Groom, Managing Director, Bubble & Squeak, commented: "As the organisers of the Music Producers Guild Award it is great to see the level of interest from all sides of the industry including sponsors, press both trade and mainstream and associations. Sponsors in particular were pleased with their return on investment and the ease of making new contacts on the evening and networking with old ones. We are working on the 2010 awards now and have some sponsorship opportunities left if companies would like to take part in this great event."
