Lorna Clarke has received Music Week’s Outstanding Contribution award, presented to her by Lorna Clarke and Jo Whiley.
Lorna, the BBC’s Director of Music, has played a key role in BBC Music broadcasting including coverage of events such as Glastonbury, which was reflected in the tribute video which featured the likes of Chris Martin of Coldplay, Jason Iley, Tony Harlow and Emily Eavis.
The video also featured BBC presenters including Greg James, Jo Whiley, Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne.
The Women in Music event on Friday 11th October concluded with the Outstanding Contribution award, which recognises a woman who has made a major impact in the music industry, through her longevity, sustained success and commitment to driving change and equality.
In her speech closing the ceremony, Lorna said: “I think it is just so lovely to receive this recognition, so thank you Music Week. If anybody is in any doubt about why you need a celebration of women in music, just look around in this room – you can feel it – so please keep it going.”
