London based publicist Marie Moloney, Senior Press Officer with Richard Wootton Publicity, was recently presented with the 2011 Wesley Rose International Media Achievement Award.

The musicians were performing in the United Kingdom and Ireland for “The BMI and CMA Presents the CMA Songwriter Series.” This was the first international session of the CMA Songwriter Series.
