London, UK – July 2, 2025 – The music world converged at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London last night for the Nordoff and Robbins' O2 Silver Clef Awards 2025, a star-studded evening celebrating musical excellence and raising vital funds for the UK's largest music therapy charity. In a historic shift, the event moved from its traditional Friday lunchtime slot to a glamorous Wednesday evening gala, drawing an impressive array of artists and industry figures to the blue carpet.

The "Arrivals" segment of the evening was a spectacle in itself, with photographers and fans capturing glimpses of music legends and contemporary stars. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as attendees made their way into the prestigious venue, eager to witness the awards ceremony and support Nordoff and Robbins' transformative work.

This year's awards honored a diverse range of talent, highlighting both enduring icons and groundbreaking new artists. David Gilmour of Pink Floyd was presented with the highly coveted O2 Silver Clef Award for his outstanding contributions to music, while folk-pop sensation Noah Kahan took home the Best Male award, recognized for his heartfelt songwriting and advocacy for mental health through his Busyhead Project.

Electronic pioneers Chase & Status were crowned Best Group, acknowledging their significant influence on the dance and drum and bass genres. The legendary Tony Christie received the Icon Award, celebrating his illustrious five-decade career, and Irish pop-rock family band The Corrs were honored with the Legend Award for their lasting impact on music.

Other notable winners included Sophie Ellis-Bextor for Best Female, Mika with the Global Impact Award for his global success and advocacy for inclusivity, The Last Dinner Party for Best New Music, and AURORA for the Contemporary Music Award, recognized for her unique artistry and fearless lyrics. IDLES were celebrated as the Best Live Act, a testament to their captivating and high-energy performances.

The event served as Nordoff and Robbins' largest annual fundraiser, with all proceeds directly supporting their music therapy services across the UK. The charity provides vital musical interventions to individuals facing a wide range of challenges, from dementia and autism to learning difficulties and mental health issues. Speaking about the importance of the awards, Nordoff and Robbins CEO Sandra Schembri emphasized the charity's mission: "It costs over £8 million a year to run our charity, and we urgently need to raise more funds to help us in our mission of providing vital music therapy to people across the UK."

The O2 Silver Clef Awards continue to be a cornerstone of the music industry's calendar, not only celebrating exceptional talent but also showcasing the profound power of music to connect, heal, and transform lives.
