Island-inspired music wins Ivor Novello award

A composer and writer have won one of the UK's top music awards for a piece inspired by the Isle of Man.

Helen Grime and Zoe Gilbert won an Ivor Novello award for Folk, based on Zoe's book of the same name.

Her work features a fictional island called Neverness, inspired by the Isle of Man and its folklore.

Judges described the piece as "dramatic, gritty, and brilliantly crafted".
