Q Awards

So, it was the Q Awards in London last night, a true celebration of where music is at right now, reflecting, as they so often do, just how rich and varied the musical landscape is, and how enthused music fans are to be able to discover what is new and exciting.

Well, that’s what I think anyway. I wonder what Q Editor In Chief Paul Rees has to say. He told reporters: “This year’s awards were a true celebration of where music is at right now – being, as they were, reflective of how rich and varied the musical landscape is, and of how enthused music fans are to be able to discover so much that is new and exciting”. Yeah, that’s sounds very familiar Paul, doesn’t it?

Anyway, here’s your list of winners. Oh look, Coldplay are the best act in the world today. Team Q do know about the Steps reunion right?

*This classic headline is trademark CMU. I’m just saying because of the “Q Editor steals CMU summary of his own event” scandal.
