Noel Gallagher picked up the Outstanding Collection prize at today’s prestigious Ivor Novello Awards – having earlier said he only attended because One Direction weren’t invited.
The former Oasis songwriter joined other winners at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel which included The Maccabees, whose brilliant track ‘Pelican‘ won Best Contemporary Song, and Marc Almond, who received the Inspiration Award.
When asked by NME why he came to the awards, he replied: “Because clowns like One Direction aren’t invited, so it must be a good one.”
