(Classic Rock) Kinks play Sunny Afternoon was this week named Best New Musical at the prestigious Olivier Awards in London. Band frontman Ray Davies was given an Outstanding Achievement Award for his work on the soundtrack.

And actors John Dagleish, who plays Ray, and George Maguire, who plays brother Dave, won Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively. The show, written by Joe Penhall, is based on Davies' early years with the Kinks. It opened in London last May before moving to the West End.

Accepting his award, Davies said: "When you write songs you write about people. People are the source of my material. Next time you're sitting in a park and you see someone like me looking at you, don't phone the police - I'm just writing about you." Read more and watch the trailer for the musical here.
