awards for 2015 were announced at a gala event held on Saturday, 20 February at the School of Music at Llewellyn Hall. This was the 21st year of the awards, so a special birthday celebration was held following the awards. I, along with my colleagues Andrew Wall, Brendan Smyth and Giulia Jones, was privileged to be part of the audience for the occasion.
As I have done in earlier years, I would like to quickly race through the winners for the event.
