6 Music Week 21.11.14 GALLERY WOMEN IN MUSIC WOMEN IN MUSIC 2014
Last Friday (November 14) saw the first ever Women In Music event take place at the Royal Garden Hotel in London’s Kensington, presented by Music Week in association with AIM and UK Music. Thirty women from the UK business were inaugurated into the WIM roll of honour, while five leading lights were presented with special awards
uOUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION: JACKIE HYDE Jackie Hyde’s 35 years at Sony Music make for an astonishing achievement - and are more than reason enough for her to recieve a gong for an outstanding contribution to the industry. Presented her award on stage by Columbia Records chairman (and 2014 Music Week Awards Strat winner) Rob Stringer, Hyde was in good company on the night - as she has been throughout her career, having looked after major acts from Michael Jackson to David Bowie to Liza Minnellli. (Pictured L-R: Rob Stringer, Columbia co-president Alison Donald, Jackie Hyde, Sony Music UK COO Nicola Tuer and Sony Music UK chairman and CEO Jason Iley.)
qINSPIRATIONAL ARTIST: PEGGY SEEGER A legendary name in folk music, Peggy Seeger is as accomplished an activist and pioneer as she is a singer and songwriter. Flourishing as a songwriter in the ‘60s and ‘70s, Seeger shows no signs of slowing in 2014 at the age of 79, having released critically acclaimed album, Everything Changes, earlier this year.
tCAMPAIGNER: ANGIE JENKISON The Who’s Roger Daltrey was more than happy to present Teenage Cancer Trust relations manager Angie Jenkison with an award recognising her tireless work with the charity. After leaving school in Newcastle aged 16, Jenkison’s first entry into the music business was as a receptionist at Swan Yard studios. She climbed the ranks to become studio manager and later took the MD position at Trident studios after it was acquired by Swan Yard. Daltrey approached Jenkison for help with TCT when she was at Sanctuary - where her boss Andy Taylor that backed her quest to put together some mighty music line-ups at The Royal Albert Hall. And it’s safe to say she’s done just that.
qMEDIA PIONEER: ANNIE NIGHTINGALE
Naughty Boy came to present Annie’s award in person, following a tribute video in which the likes of Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim) and DJ Bobby Friction paid tribute. The first woman to DJ on BBC Radio 1, Nightingale can now be heard on 1Xtra. She told women in the audience to “never take no for an answer”.
qRISING STAR: SIAN ANDERSON
In addition to running her own PR company, SighTracked, and working in the marketing team at Atlantic, Anderson presents on BBC Radio 1Xta. She helped Ed Sheeran become established, putting together his No.5 Ep, released in 2011 – which featured collaborations with top UK grime artists. Sheeran paid tribute to Anderson in a special video, while her award was given out by friend Alex Boateng.
