ELBOW - LITTLE-KNOWN WAREHOUSE WORKER LANDS IVOR NOVELLO NOMINATION

LITTLE-KNOWN WAREHOUSE WORKER LANDS IVOR NOVELLO NOMINATION

ELBOW, THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS and little-known singer/songwriter NICHOLAS HEMMING are in the running to claim this year's (09) Ivor Novello Award for Song of The Year in London.
Hemming's The Last of The Melting Snow failed to dent the UK's top 40 when it was released in December (08), but the song was a critical smash and now it's up for an Ivor Novello opposite My Mistakes Were Made For You by The Last Shadow Puppets and Elbow's One Day Like This.
Hemming was working part-time in a warehouse when he heard he'd been nominated for a coveted Ivor Novello Award on Tuesday (21Apr09).
Welsh singer Duffy and Coldplay lead this year's nominations with three apiece - Best Album, Most Performed Work and Bestselling British Song, while Elbow and The Ting Tings have two nominations each.
The awards ceremony will be held in London on 21 May (09).
