14-Oct 2008
We are thrilled to announce that the first Musidoku book (ISBN 978-0-85249-897-2) has scooped the prestigious Music Industries Association (MIA)'s 2008 Music Award for Innovation in Printed Music Publishing, sponsored by Sibelius Music, at a glitzy ceremony held at The Park Lane Hotel, Piccadilly, London.
The MIA Music Awards honour the best-selling and most reliable and innovative products and retail initiatives in the UK and celebrate the top individuals and organisations within the musical instrument industry. In what has been a challenging year for the industry, the MIA Music Awards provide a much needed opportunity to acknowledge the professionals who continue to drive forward creativity and innovation.
The Awards ceremony, supported by sponsors Classic FM, Future Titles, Musicguard Insurance, SGM-FX, GFK Marketing Services, HSBC, Arts Council of England, NAMM, Allianz Insurance, MESSE and Sibelius, was attended by guests and VIPs from the whole breadth of the music industry and included representatives from the Government and UK music charities.

Unfortunately, Antony Kearns, the author of the Musidoku books, was unable to attend the ceremony as he was in Hong Kong on the final leg of a trip to the Far East, including Tokyo and the Music China show in Shanghai. Antony's wife Helen accompanied Nicholas Williams to collect the award at the dinner.
Paul McManus, chief executive, MIA, said: "The MIA Music Awards are a celebration of the vibrancy, diversity and achievements of the industry. The evening provides an important opportunity to give due recognition to those aspiring individuals and organisations that are currently at the forefront of our industry. Many congratulations to Stainer & Bell Ltd who are deserved winners for 2008."
