BRIGGS, MISSY HIGGINS RECOGNISED AT 2017 SCREEN MUSIC AWARDS

Briggs took home the award for Best TV Theme with ‘Here’ (featuring Caiti Baker), composed with Charlton Hill and Justin Shave for Fox League Super Saturday, with Briggs’ noting the importance of the track to Indigenous NRL players.

 

 “The song reflects the journey of the Indigenous players who give so much excitement and leadership to the sport and community week in and week out, not just the specific Indigenous round,” he said.

 

 

Missy Higgins picked up Best Original Song Composed for the Screen with ‘Torchlight’ written for Australian film, Don’t Tell. The accolade is the first Screen Music Award Higgins has won.
