I was there and felt that when Ferdy grabbed the mic to thank staff for their contribution to Polydor, a passing mention and thanks to Colin Barlow - responsible for 99% of the success - might have been polite and well deserved.
Did you forget him Ferdy? I know he logs on here every day (I work at Universal).

JK - Your name wasn't amongst the 20.
But ask your friends on the selection committee.
Bocu must have had a good year. Thank You For The Music, amongst others!

Interesting - at least here people are discussing it.
Nothing on Record of the Day. Nothing on The Velvet Rope.
Virtually nothing on Music Week forums.
Incidentally although I would bow down to Chris Blackwell (his Brit Records, long before Island, inspired UK Records) I wonder - was my name amongst the other 19 nominees? If not, why not?
Vile Pervert.
And Publisher of the Year? EMI? Indie Publisher? Kobalt? Who's Kobalt?
Music Week clearly never heard of Bocu.
Which is odd considering 2008.

I was there; about 20% down but Vine was good. Big Universal attendance but then they are the dominant company.
Pleasant enough evening ran smoothly but I do fear there will be changes by 2010.

Terrylamps has got it virtually spot on. Attendance was lower. There were no tables either under or on the balcony, nor any table located where you come down the sweeping staircase at the side. But that probably means 10-15% less tables than a "full-house".
