British way would be a way of putting that um so um yeah it's it's very extraordinary this tune um The Flintstones I think we can agree is one of the greatest film um pieces of film music have ever written it's very catchy and very wonderful so it's kind of a humorous thing to be able to stand here and accept this award on behalf of all of the family of The Flintstones that's quite something um uh yeah it's um I I think it's um it's in many ways it's a very difficult thing to imagine that in in 2017 the music industry could be alive and well um but I I do believe having created this album completely on my own um in my little room in London that the community of bedroom artists uh people who are creating music just for themselves on their own terms um and creating wonderful things just for the sake of it these are the people who will lead Our Generation forwards um it's lovely to be able to represent that a little bit um and I hope that people will be inspired to believe that they don't necessarily need um glorious uh people behind them or lots of very expensive equipment and lots of things like that just to start creating things um and if we create uh then we'll be doing the world some good and I think we need that right now thank you so so much the best arrangement instrumental or Acappella the nominated arrangers are Chris Bowers John Williams Emilio Sola Vince Mendoza
