The South Bank Show & South Bank Sky Arts Awards


The biggest names in arts broadcasting are back as Melvyn Bragg meets more cultural big hitters and presents the arts world’s most prestigious awards


Melvyn Bragg meets more leading lights of the arts world as The South Bank Show returns in 2013. Over the course of the last series, Bragg explored the full spectrum of the arts by meeting principal dancer at the Royal Ballet Carlos Acosta, National Theatre director Nicholas Hytner and Booker Prize-winning author Pat Barker, before examining the roots of grime music in London’s East End.


In this new series, he meets more popular cultural icons to uncover the influences that have shaped their careers. Bragg will also resume his role as master of ceremonies at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards. In March 2013, the leaders of the contemporary and classical arts worlds will gather once again at The Dorchester hotel


in London to celebrate the artistic triumphs of the previous 12 months. Among last year’s winners were TV comedy series Fresh Meat, author Claire Tomalin, singer Kate Bush, pianist Llyr Williams and artist Grayson Perry, who captivated crowds at the British Museum with his exhibition The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman.


A lynchpin of arts and culture broadcasting for more than three decades, The South Bank Show and its accompanying awards ceremony continue to give a crucial and richly deserved platform to the greatest practitioners of the arts, from visual arts, opera, television drama and dance to film and literature.
