NME reports that Radiohead won the award for International Achievement at the Ivor Novello Awards today in London. These awards honor British songwriters, composers, and music publishers.
Other awards went to Will Young, Amy Winehouse, Errol Brown, Goldfrapp, Dido, Jamelia, and Gary Jules.
The BBC asked Jonny why the band bucked their usual trend of not showing up for awards ceremonies. Jonny said, “This award ceremony is more about song writing which is something we enjoy very much as a band – watching songs change and having Thom turn up with songs that we can either finish up or ruin.”
“That’s the most core process for us, in terms of being in a band, so anything that celebrates that is great.”
