Broadcaster and presenter, Jonathan Ross OBE, five times Sony Radio Academy Award gold winner and holder of three BAFTAs, is to be honoured with the prestigious Music Industry Trusts' Award.

Over 1000 guests will attend the annual charity dinner in aid of Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy and the BRIT Trust.

Jonathan Ross has been a steadfast supporter of the UK music industry since his TV debut in 1987 with The Last Resort with Jonathan Ross. His BBC 1's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, now in its 17th season and BBC Radio 2's Jonathan Ross Show, now in its 10th year, have provided hugely influential exposure for new artists, as well as being a key target for established musicians from both the UK and abroad. He has become the UK's most important broadcasting star-maker responsible for bringing many young musicians to a weekly TV audience that exceeds 5 million. Jonathan Ross's enthusiasm for music is evident on his Saturday morning BBC Radio 2 show, where he gives air time to an extremely diverse range of music genres, with no show passing without air time given to Ross's favourite, David Bowie. In 2008 Jonathan Ross won the Sony Gold Award for Music Radio Personality of the Year.
