Novello Awards

[Euphrates]

"James Blunt's You're Beautiful won two awards, most performed work and international hit of the year. The most controversial speech came not from a rebellious rock star but from Sir Harrison Birtwistle, classical music winner. "Why is your music so effing loud? You must be all brain dead. Maybe you are," he told the audience. "I didn't know so many cliches existed until the last half-hour."

 

is the last paragraph of this http://arts.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1783399,00.html

 

The Bee Gees, Gorillaz, KT Tunstall, New Order, Kaiser Chiefs, Ray Davies, James Blunt were all honoured/won something.

 

I wonder who Birtwistle meant...
