00:06Right, we've got to get a move on, got to get a move on, we're running over.
00:11Now then, British music has been going on for bloody ages.
00:17I think you'll all agree.
00:19And over the years, some of it has been good, like the Beatles.
00:23Yes, some of it has been really good, like Primal Screams.
00:28Yeah, and some of it has been bloody excellent, like Olly Murs.
00:35But some of it, oh, some fancy, lovely.
00:38Some of it, not much, but some of it has been outstanding.
00:44I can't think of any off the top of me yet, but that's not my job.
00:48So, you know, but it has.
00:51Anyway, anyway, let's find out who has been contributing outstandingly to British music
00:56with the Teenage Cancer Trust Outstanding Contribution to Music Award.
01:02And to present that, it's Don Letts and Mick Jones.
01:07And if your life is worth it, then you'll take it all in.
01:11The Teenage Cancer Trust Outstanding Contribution to Music Award
01:16is presented by NME editors to acts or artists
01:20who have truly left a unique impression on music.
01:22Someone who not only thrills an ever-growing loyal army of fans,
01:27but someone who, through their work,
01:29always raises the bar on what artists should aspire to.
01:32However, this year's recipient not only meets all these qualifications,
01:39she easily exceeds them.
01:41Quite simply, there's no one quite like her in the world.
01:45And the NME is honoured that she's here tonight to accept this award.
01:49Ladies and gentlemen, Polly Jean Harvey.
02:15Thank you very much to Don and Mick for presenting me with this award.
02:19Thank you to the NME for the recognition of my work so far.
02:25I still feel like I'm just beginning,
02:27so maybe I'll be back in another 20 years' time.
02:31And thank you to everybody that's worked with me
02:34and helped me along the way.
02:36And too many of you to name every single one,
02:40but thank you from the bottom of my heart.
02:46Well done, Polly.
02:48Lovely.
02:48Lovely stuff.
02:49Right, I'm just going to have a little chat here
02:51because she's going to do a couple of her songs in a moment.
02:55We'll all look forward to that.
02:57Jarvis, would you mind talking to me?
03:00Of course not. Hello.
03:01Hello, how are you doing?
03:03Very well.
03:04I'd like to compliment you on your presenting style.
03:07Thank you very much.
03:09Are you talking about my tie?
03:11Yes, yes.
03:12Well, a lot of people ask me about this tie.
03:15They say, why is it so long?
03:17And I say to them, if you buy this much tie,
03:20you should show this much tie.
03:23I'm sure you appreciate it.
03:25Thank you, Jarvis.
03:26Nice to meet you.
03:27Hello.
03:28How are you?
03:30I'm fine.
03:31I sprung that on you, didn't I?
03:33I knew I was going to talk to you,
03:35but you didn't know I was going to talk to you.
03:38And I've been attracted by your hair.
03:40No, I just saw you there.
03:42I thought, he looks like a pirate.
03:44He's up for it.
03:46What's your name?
03:48Freddie.
03:48Who?
03:49Freddie.
03:50Good.
03:50That's the end of that, you see?
03:52Happy days.
03:54Happy days.
03:54We're all having fun.
03:55Please welcome P.J. Harvey.

07:51and for this year, once again, my vote has been ignored.
07:55I've been silenced on this matter. Yes, I have.
07:59Then again, I've been voting for ELO's Xanadu album every year since 1980,
08:03but nobody wants to know what I think.
08:06And to present the award, it's Marina from Marina and the Diamonds
08:10and Bobby Gillespie.

10:41Next up is the John Peele awards
10:44And now John Peele was responsible for discovering some of the most innovative music around just by listening to everything
10:53that was sent to him
10:55He was actually I
10:57Sent tapes to it for years. I've been he played them. You know, he never did although I'm not surprised
11:02because the stuff I sent to him was
11:04You know, it's just bollocks
11:06I'd recorded off the radio by Pepsi and Shirley, so I'm not surprised
11:11Anyway, here to present the John Peele award for innovation are
11:15Alexa Chung and the presenter of last year's enemy awards. It's Jarvis Cocker
11:23Ah
11:24Yeah
11:25Come on Jarvis
11:35Hello, so the John Peele award for innovation is an award only given out occasionally by enemies editors when they
11:42come across that rare thing
11:43An act who possess a pioneering spirit and uncompromising approach to music that John Peele himself would approve of
11:49This year we found just such a band and Jarvis is going to tell us who it is
11:54That's right Alexa. I am right. It's had some discipline
11:58Shut up for a minute
12:01Okay
12:02Same old faces in it same old faces same ones every year
12:08Innovation very important
12:11Right without innovation. It'd just be sad old bands getting back together and playing summer festivals
12:20And you don't want that dear
12:26So it gives me great pleasure
12:28To present this award
12:31With John Peele's name on it
