Paolo Nutini Wins Best Album Honors at Ivor Novello Awards
. Presenting the award to Paolo at the lunchtime ceremony was Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon who talked about Paolo's current record Sunny Side Up saying "you know a great record when it captures your attention for the duration of the record without wanting to skip through songs � and this record certainly gets your attention brilliantly!" The Ivor Novello Awards, judged by songwriters and musicians, is the pinnacle of the music award season in the UK as it really does focus on the craft of songwriting. For Paolo to be honored in the best album category is an amazing achievement. Afterwards, Paolo said, "It's an honor to get an award voted for by songwriters. Happy days and thanks for the support." Other winners at the ceremony included Lily Allen, Paul Weller, former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, Imogen Heap and Bat For Lashes. And previous winners of the Best Album Award have been The Ting Tings (2009), Radiohead (2008) Arctic Monkeys (2007) and The Kaiser Chiefs (2006). Nutini won the award just before hitting the road for his summer European tour, which includes a number of high profile performances at some of the continent's biggest music festivals.
