Iron Maiden have been awarded the prestigious O2 Silver Clef by Nordoff Robbins in recognition of “outstanding contribution to UK music”. Previous winners include The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Genesis and Queen; last year’s Silver Clef winner was Jimmy Page. In its 40 year history the Awards have raised more than £8.5 million to fund Nordoff Robbins’ ground-breaking work with music therapy.
Bruce, Adrian and Janick were in attendance to collect the award earlier today.
The award was presented to the band by Wolf Hall's Mark Rylance and Claire van Kampen (check out their play Farinelli and the King in the West End).
And for a little bonus, here's the intro video that was shown at the ceremony... cue the montage!
