Noel Gallagher at the Leeds First Direct Arena during the Stranded On The Earth world tour (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Noel Gallagher went home with two prizes from the 2018 Q Awards yesterday, while Let’s Eat Grandma picked up the Best Album gong.
Gallagher was presented with the Q Outstanding Contribution To Music Award after earlier winning Best Solo Artist, though in the peculiar way these ceremonies often work themselves out, it was Paul Weller who took the grand title of Best Act In The World Today.
Elsewhere, Goat Goal and Idles were jointly honoured as Best Breakthrough Act, and there was more recognition for classic British songwriting with The Kinks getting Q Classic Album for The Village Green Preservation Society.
