Paul Epworth takes producer BRIT at MPG Awards
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 16 February 2015
Paul Epworth is nothing if not efficient, he winning his BRIT Award for 2015 a whole two weeks before the BRIT Awards have even happened. And I bet all those popstars haven’t even decided what to wear yet. This is why producers are the musical people who actually get things done. If we could just get rid of them, we’d never have to tolerate any new music ever again.
Which is exactly what the Music Producers Guild was celebrating last Thursday night. Well, not really. But yes, it was the annual MPG Awards last Thursday, the event where the BRIT Award for best producer of the year is also presented, usually to Paul Epworth. And this year it went to Paul Epworth. Which I think I’d already mentioned.
