It was the Music Managers Forum Roll Of Honour awards in London last night, an evening dedicated to patting artist managers on the back. Getting the biggest pat was Pop Idol supremo Simon Fuller who, according to Music Week, picked up the Peter Grant Award For Outstanding Management. MMF chairman Jazz Summers, himself a former winner of the prestigious gong, reportedly told the event: "We are delighted that Simon Fuller has agreed to accept our highest honour. His considerable achievements over 20 years cannot be underestimated". Other winners included Ian McAndrew and Geoff Barradale, managers of Arctic Monkeys and Reverend And The Makers, who were named Managers Of The Year, while Bernard Butler was named Producer Of The Year. Terry McBride, due to key note at The Great Escape today, was named International Manager Of The Year.
