Yeah, but I just wanted to open it up to the NOOL community instead. Cheers, anyhow, Hac - and for those who are lazy like me, here's the best bit from the link that the man provided:
"The Facts
New Order formed in 1980, in Manchester, England. They have released six studio albums, and 34 singles, including a Number One, World In Motion, and the best-selling 12" single of all time, Blue Monday. Their innovative, artistic videos and inspirational LP artwork have won international awards. They were part-owners of Manchester's world-famous Hacienda nightclub and Dry bar.
New Order have changed the face of pop music, crafting emotional music on machines, conjuring romance with flint-eyed lyrics, soul with a diamond centre, brilliance that sells millions. They make electronica for rock fans, future-disco for post-punks, heart music for head people, art for drunks. They unite loved-up acid heads, dressed-down musos, handbaggers, housewives, "spotty students and football hooligans": Bernard. They prove that cleverness and bloody-mindedness and beauty and wit can beat rock at its own clod-hopping game. No photos. No encores. No compromise. Just exhilarating, life-changing, lose-your-mind-find-your-feelings noise.
New Order still live in Manchester, England."
"Art for drunks"???? Yes please......

Agreed. Summed it up in 3 words!

Anyone remember the acceptance speech? Think Andrew Lloyd Webber had given a stinker of an acceptance earlier and when Barney got up he said he didn't have anything prepared, but perhaps that wasn't a bad thing after ALW's! Something like that. Cue groans from the audience and then Barney joked that ALW was really a very good mate of his!

I think ALW waffled that much about shite he over ran the time allotted.
Hooky stayed at home. Wise decision.
"True Face", typical Beeb.
Yeh I still have an old number one mag with that article. Aparently the award had new order spelled incorrectly.
