Live industry legend Neil Warnock was honoured with the Outstanding Contribution To Music award at last night's Live Music Business Awards in London.
UTA's Warnock (pictured) received video tributes from several of the artists he has represented during his career, including Dolly Parton, Alice Cooper, David Gilmour, Katherine Jenkins and Status Quo's Francis Rossi.
Warnock, who founded The Agency Group before it was acquired by UTA in 2015, is also chairman of the Nordoff Robbins fundraising committee and accepted the award from the music therapy charity's CEO Julie Whelan.
"I love being an agent," said Warnock, who won the coveted Music Week Strat Award in 2015. "This is my 50th year doing this and I'm still loving it. It's what I do every day, building my clients careers, working with my clients, seeing that they're happy and that we're developing what they want to do with their lives as they go forward.
"I'm very fortunate to be in this industry. It's a very exciting time for our industry."
