Oldies are golden at the Q awards
From the Who to the Arctic Monkeys, with Oasis and Boy George in between
You could be forgiven for consulting the history books. The winners at yesterday's Q awards were a roll call of heroes from decades past - from 60s' legend Smokey Robinson, the 70s' Jeff Lynne, the 80s' Aha and the 90s' Take That. Add in Oasis, U2, Boy George, Peter Gabriel and the Who, and it would take a long time to add up the combined ages of the winners, though one observer did work out an average age of 41.
