APRS Sound Fellowship<br />
Awards Lunch 2008<br />
The APRS is holding this year’s<br />
Sound Fellowship Awards Lunch<br />
at the Roof Gardens in Kensington<br />
on Wednesday 19th November. A special<br />
feature of the lunch this year will be the<br />
appearance of legendary personality and<br />
star musician Rick Wakeman who will<br />
be proposing one of toasts to the Past,<br />
Present and Future of the APRS. Rick,<br />
who is known for his library of anecdotes<br />
of his experiences as a session player<br />
since the 60s has even offered to give us<br />
a tune if there is time during the festivities.<br />
The nomination process for the APRS<br />
Sound Fellowships has been opened-up to<br />
the entire APRS membership. There are no<br />
specific categories of Fellowship – APRS<br />
Members are simply invited to choose six<br />
individuals who they think should be<br />
“Recognised for their special contribution to<br />
the art, science and industry of sound<br />
recording”. The focus should be on<br />
“achievement” and “innovation”. The<br />
nominees could be inventors, manufacturers,<br />
legendary studio engineers, maintenance<br />
Gods, producers, artists, managers,<br />
broadcasters - anyone at all who has had a<br />
positive impact upon the recording sector<br />
as a whole… and they don’t have to be<br />
close to retirement!<br />
Nominations, which should include the<br />
name of the proposed recipient, together<br />
with a brief description of why he/she is<br />
proposed, must be received no later than<br />
Friday 26th September 2008. Once the ‘full<br />
nomination list’ is collected it will be<br />
presented to a panel of qualifying members<br />
who form an ‘Awards Academy’. The APRS<br />
Board and other members who have<br />
expressed an interest in taking part in the<br />
Rick Wakeman<br />
Awards Academy process, will vote for their<br />
six favourite contenders. Any APRS<br />
member wishing to be considered as a<br />
participant in the Awards Academy should<br />
contact Francesca Smith before 26th<br />
September 2008.<br />
The APRS are extremely pleased to announce that Air and Strongroom Studios have<br />
recently become Corporate Sustaining Members. Managing Director, Richard Boote<br />
comments, “AIR and Strongroom represent a standard of service and quality in<br />
recording studios which I feel is becoming harder to find.<br />
At a time when music production budgets are declining and well established and respected<br />
studios are forced out of business, I believe the APRS brings top-class facilities together to ensure<br />
that the principles that have earned our industry respect worldwide are preserved and promoted.<br />
I look forward to working with the APRS in promoting this message, ensuring clients get value<br />
for money while technical standards are maintained.”<br />
