The Clash To Receive Silver Clef Award

06/24/2013
. (hennemusic) The Clash are being honored with a Silver Clef Award in London for their contributions to UK music. Other artists being honored include Coldplay (Best British Act), Barry Gibb (Lifetime Achievement) and Alison Moyet (Icon).

"To be given the O2 Silver Clef Award from Nordoff Robbins is a real honor," said guitarist Mick Jones. "Nordoff Robbins do great work and it feels special to be recognized at the O2 Silver Clef Awards."

"The Clash's music has just as much influence today as it did when they first came onto the music scene in 1976," added Nordiff-Robbins Chairman David Munns.

"It is no wonder 'London Calling' has been described as one of the most influential rock albums of all time. The O2 Silver Clef Award, the most prestigious of the ten awards handed out at the event, is given to a British artist in recognition of their contribution to UK music. Having been enormously influential in the UK music scene for over 35 years, I can think of no band more deserving of this award than The Clash." more on this story
