It’s that time of year again and i’ve just handed over all the trophies ready to be presented to the winners in the Royal Albert Hall, London. I’ve made them since the awards first started, eighteen years ago and each one is specific to whoever has won it. It’s probably one of the most fiddly jobs i do, making tiny instruments from welded steel and subsequently burning and cutting my hands in the process but i do enjoy making them. Obviously i know who all the winners are and congratulations to them all, but i’m sworn to secrecy, so lets just say someone who plays a guitar has probably won one ?
