Jonathan Ross Honoured With Industry trust Award

David Munns, Chairman of the Award committee said: "We are especially delighted for our two charities that Jonathan Ross is our 2009 MITS recipient as we know that this going to be a very popular and lively evening. For over two decades Jonathan Ross has been an important part of the UK music landscape and has provided valuable support in challenging times. His passion for music, enthusiasm for discovering and encouraging musicians and the importance of his two shows for artist development, makes Jonathan Ross a worthy recipient of the 2009 MITs Award."

The Music Industry Trusts' Award, now in its 18th year, has become one of the true benchmarks of achievement and generosity in the British music business, bestowing the respect of peers upon its recipients, while benefiting the charitable causes that have the industry's loyalty.

Jonathan Ross joins a select group of Music Industry Trusts' honourees: Sir George Martin, Harvey Goldsmith, Michael Parkinson, Lucian Grainge and the late Ahmet Ertegun, and such esteemed artists and musicians as Kylie Minogue, Peter Gabriel, Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and John Barry. In 2005 Jonathan Ross was awarded the OBE for services to broadcasting.
