The Script noted, “We are honoured to receive the Raymond Weil International award at this year’s O2 Silver Clefs. We saw first-hand at a recent visit to Nordoff Robbins the power of music therapy and we know from personal experiences how music can heal. So, to be supporting this charity through this event feels very special to us.”
