Ed Hughes’s The Cuckmere Soundwalk has been nominated for an Ivors Academy Ivor Novello Award, in the Sound Art category. The Soundwalk is on the Echoes Interactive Sound Walks App and features movements from Ed’s 2018 Brighton Festival commission Cuckmere: A Portrait. App users can download the walk on their phones and explore the iconic Cuckmere River and Cuckmere Haven in East Sussex whilst listening to Ed’s music performed by the Orchestra of Sound and Light. 

BBC Radio 3’s Breakfast show featured ’Spring’ from Cuckmere: A Portrait in this morning’s coverage of the awards. The Award winners will be announced on 8th December.
