WELCOME TO
WHO NEEDS AN AWARD CEREMONY?
SOMEONE WILL ONLY GRAB THE MIC AND
SWEAR, OR FALL OVER. NEXT YEAR, MAYBE,
BUT FOR THIS – THE FIRST-EVER CLASSIC

THERE’S A BIG UPSIDE

I ended up exploring the

Adam Ant when our plan to shoot
IN THE WORLD OF
his presentation in their marble-
pillared cafe (very reminiscent
CLASSIC POP...
T
of the
Prince Charming
inside
gatefold) was scuppered by half
term crowds. Adam suggested
we go and find his actual
Prince
Charming
costume, on permanent
display in the museum since 2009,
to shoot with that. There’s no
photography allowed inside the
V&A, so thanks to the Theatre &
Performance Room security guard
for turning a blind eye…
For our session with Kevin
Rowland we headed to East
London’s Hoxton Hotel where it just
so happened that our private room
was equipped with a table tennis
table. And I’m pleased to report
that, impeccably tailored Dexys
icon he may be, Kevin was the
first to take his jacket off, roll his
sleeves up and thrown down the
ping pong gauntlet.
Maybe next year the stars will
come to us. Or maybe we’ll fly
further afield. We met Andy Bell at
the London home he spends half
his time at (the other half being in
Miami), with Matt Johnson on a
fleeting visit to London, and Sophie
Ellis-Bextor as she headed off to
the airport for Italy. We never did
get to sit down with Simon Napier-
Bell, who was somewhere between
Thailand and LA, so we’re booked
to present his award the next time
he touches down on UK soil.
When we met Peter Saville to
present Best Designer he had some
strong views to offer on the design
of the award itself. And rightly so:
we hope our first awards entertain
as much as generate discussion
and debate.

In what is without doubt one of his
most revealing interviews to date,
Jimmy Somerville discusses his career
thus far and the crushing self-doubt that
came with fame. Now, with stellar new
