Really? It's one of the most prestigious awards a songwriter can get to be honest. What is so nice about this award is that it is not given out my record companies or publishers like most other awards. This award is totally from songwriters & music writing industry folks themselves. It's a great award to receive. I believe Mark has got one before for the track "Local Hero" nearly 30 years ago but this award is just superb to be acknowledged for.

My Pleasure everyone. I was amazed that I got the news onto the forum before anyone else, lol. Even management themselves had no info up over at the official page.
-
Seeing as Jimmy Webb was there it's a shame that he and Mark didn't get a chance to perform this beauty :)

Congrats to MK, a great honour.
However, part of me is uncomfortable; they give these type of awards to people who are past t. FMK is at the top of his game.
Peter O'Toole has been offered an honourary Oscar a few times but declined, as he still thinks he can win a "real" one.
-
Freddie Mercury won this award for writing Killer Queen, either the same year or soon after.

is it the same organisation that did the knebworth shows? (silver cleff thingy..)
-
I think it has something to do with The Performing Rights Society. The same people who put the plaque up in Deptford and who Guy Fletchers Uncle is or was the head of.

Do we know who actually gave Mark the award? anyone famous?
