Emma Banks wins Woman Of The Year.
Achievements of women in the music industry and media honoured
A standing ovation greeted Woman Of The Year winner Emma Banks at the annual ceremony last Thursday, celebrating the achievements of women in the music industry and related media.
The co-founder of live agency CAA's London office, who was described as a "doyenne" of the music industry by attendees, was introduced by video tributes from some of her charges, including Crowded House, Nelly Furtado, Norah Jones and Marilyn Manson, who swore, "Although she's been my agent for years I did not have to sleep with her to get where I am."
Banks described the award as a "real honour" and thanked Wasted Youth founder Ian Flooks for being "instrumental in getting me where I am today," after giving Banks her first job.
"I started 17 years ago when the Forum was the Town And Country Club, record companies sold cassettes and 360x meant gas mark five," she said.
Banks went on to describe the artists she looks after as, "some are genius, some are less than genius and some are downright wrong".
Picking up the outstanding achievement award, Radio Two presenter Janice Long said she was "really, really made up". "I love what I do and I still pinch myself that I do it. It's a great honour to be paid to do what I love," she added.
