Meredith Music Festival

Nile Rodgers and Pet Shop Boys singer Neil Tennant are among the stars who have called on Britain's arts industry to go green after the Covid-19 crisis passes.

Ivor Novello Award-winning musician and producer Nile Rodgers surprised a room full of songwriters, music industry professionals, and academics recently, emerging as the unannounced keynote speaker for the latest Songwriting Studies Research Network event held at The Ivors Academy in London, UK.

The legendary, multiple Grammy-winning musician, Nile Rodgers, is proud to be an Ambassador for BBC Music Day 2019. He has an incredible music legacy, one which spans generations of fans, both with the CHIC Organisation and as a producer, arranger and guitarist. He wants to support this project as he has had personal experience with family members affected by the disease.
