Quickfire: later's Janet Fraser Crook tells Music Week about last week's surprise Woman Of The Year honour, which she collected at the Park Lane Hotel in London.(Forum)(Interview)
What does winning this award mean to you?
I'm completely chuffed. I join a list of talented women who've achieved so much in what is quite a male-dominated industry. I've worked as a director for 20 years, but this award is the pinnacle of my career.
How much of a shock was winning this award?
I so wasn't prepared for it. Everyone had kept it a secret--I'd directed the last show of Later With Jools the night before and said goodbye to all the team--and walked in on the night, and there they all were. Mark Cooper, head of music entertainment at the BBC was wonderful, they all made a great tribute film. Sharleen [Spiteri] presenting the award was amazing and Paul Weller on the video along with Jools just made the night really special
What has been the proudest achievement/most satisfying moment of your career?
No doubt the proudest moment was Wednesday night. But creating Later 13 years ago with Mark and Jools on a shoestring budget and see it blossom into the show it is today--full to bursting with great live musicians--there is nothing quite like it. It's a director's dream come true.
