The Annual Gold Badge Awards
HONOURING A UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC
A word from BASCA
“One of the reasons these little gold pins mean so much is
that, in the selection of the nominees, there is no partisan pressure from
record companies, publishers, or the media.
They are given from the heart on behalf of the members of BASCA and the entire creative community.”
