NME Awards 2006 Official Podcast

Summary: Every year, legendary music magazine NME polls its readers and organises the party of the year to hand out the awards. Packing out the famous Hammersmith Palais in West London, rock'n'roll royalty mix with the hottest indie stars at a party where anything can happen and often does. This year saw brilliant new Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys triumph with a clutch of awards resulting in some very bizarre speeches, and several band members ending up in hospital once the tables started flying. Bono gives a hilarious multi-swearing speech, Bob Geldof has his own foul-mouthed moment and Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown receives the coveted NME Godlike Genius Award. From the red carpet to the backstage stories it's all here, the rock'n'roll party of the year.
