BRITISH ATTENTION TO OUR BBC AWARD NOMINEES
In 2006 BBC awarded 'Armenian Navy Band', led by Arto Tuncboyacian, and 17-years-old Silva Hakobian, who was not well known before. Yesterday UK Ambassador Anthony Cantor organized an invitation in his house of Armenia in honor of the nominees. There were also the members of 'Armenian Navy Band', Silva's mother, father and sister, Mane, who is the author of the nominated song 'I like', also brother, Edgar, who is the producer. 'The aim of this invitation, though a little late, is to value and congratulate the 'Armenian Navy Band' and Silva Hakobian on their prizes. About 20 thousand fans voted for 'Armenian Navy Band' at the 'Listener's prize' nomination, and Silva got her prize at the 'Next Big Thing' nomination, the Ambassador said. Arto and Silva thanked UK Embassy and BBC for their support and prizes.
Silva's new video clip and CD will be ready next month, which will be introduced in California. What about 'Armenian Navy Band', it will have concerts in several countries abroad, probably also in Beirut.
