Strat winner Wadsworth reflects on `funny old year'.
Tributes pour in for industry veteran Tony Wadsworth, recipient of Music Week's coveted Strat Award
A respectful audience listened in silence as former EMI chairman and CEO Tony Wadsworth expressed his surprise and delight at being awarded The Strat at the 2008 Music Week Awards.
In winning the key accolade at last Thursday's ceremony, Wadsworth, who left the major in January, but continues in his role as BPI chairman, joins a list of recipients that includes 2007 recipient Jazz Summers and 2006 winner Daniel Miller.
"It has been a funny old year," Wadsworth reflected on the Grosvenor House stage as he dedicated the award to "the people I have worked with; it's for the artists; it's for the industry".
"We are all very lucky to be working in the music industry," he added to warm applause from the audience.
Later Wadsworth told Music Week of his shock at receiving the award.
"I am gobsmacked and surprised; I didn't know anything about it. I feel humbled because I know all the people that have won it before and I don't feel in the same echelons as them, but it really is fantastic," he said.
