The Music Managers Forum (MMF) Roll of Honour Awards 2006 took place on April 19 at London’s Hilton Hotel, celebrating key figures in the music industry for their remarkable contributions.
Michael Eavis was honoured for his role as the legendary organiser of the Glastonbury Festival, which he founded in 1970 on his dairy farm in Somerset. Glastonbury has grown into one of the UK’s most prominent music events, attracting over 120,000 attendees and international headline acts. Eavis expressed his excitement for the recognition, especially during the festival’s “fallow” year in 2006, a planned hiatus to allow the festival grounds to recover.
Alison Wenham was recognised for her groundbreaking work with the Association of Independent Music (AIM), which she has led since its inception in 1999. Under her leadership, AIM has become a powerful lobby group for UK indie labels, fighting numerous battles on their behalf. Wenham also holds significant roles as president of the Worldwide Independent Network, vice president of IMPALA, and special music adviser to the British Council.
Paul McGuinness received the Robertson Taylor “Peter Grant” Award for his outstanding achievement and trailblazing career. Known for managing U2, McGuinness’s contributions to the industry are highly respected.
Stephen Street was awarded the BDO Stoy Hayward Producer of the Year 2005 for his exceptional work in music production. Simon Banks was named Vodafone Music Manager of the Year 2006. Banks has managed KT Tunstall, who has achieved significant success under his guidance. Chris Blackwell, the founder of Island Records, was inducted into the Roll of Honour. Blackwell has played a crucial role in shaping the music industry and nurturing talents such as Bob Marley and U2.
Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody presented the Producer of the Year 2005 award to Garret Lee, also known as Jackknife Lee. Lucian Grainge, Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group, attended the event, representing his significant influence in the music industry.
