Take That: officially better than The Beatles
Take That have won a second Silver Clef award, which makes them 'better' than The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, officially, because the '60s legends have only ever won once.
The Silver Clef awards are given for songwriting achievement by Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. 2009's O2 Silver Clef Lunch was a fundraiser for the charity held at London's Hilton hotel on Park Lane on 3 July. Take That first won a Silver Clef in 1995.
On hearing they had won a landmark second Silver Clef award, Take That singer Gary Barlow announced the quartet would make a £50k donation to the music therapy charity.
Other winners at this year's event included:
Brian Wilson - Best International Act
Madness - Icon Award
La Roux - Best Newcomer
Queen - Ambassadors Of Rock

That’s great news
IT’S the news all TAKE THAT fans have been waiting to hear – there will definitely be another album.
Over a million lucky folk have been sent home singing, smiling and celebrating the man band’s amazing Circus tour over the past month.
And every single one will be punching the air to hear the TT juggernaut will roll on after the curtain comes down at Wembley tomorrow night.
MARK OWEN, JASON ORANGE, HOWARD DONALD and GARY BARLOW have already made a start on their sixth album during the tour.
And if history repeats itself, you can bet your boots there will be another jaw-dropping tour in 2011.
A source said: “The lads always thought the Circus album would be a good way to bow out. The last thing they planned to release was the DVD of the show which is being filmed at Wembley this weekend.
“The bond between them is so strong at the moment that they decided they should keep the momentum going.
“Mark, Howard and Jason are in the songwriting form of their life — it’s not all on Gary’s shoulders, as a lot of people think.
“The response on tour has reassured them all that there is still a huge hunger for the boys to continue.”
Gary popped in briefly to the O2 Silver Clef Awards in aid of the Nordoff-Robbins charity at London’s Hilton Hotel yesterday.
The charity provides music therapy sessions for 35,000 adults and children every year.
He presented a cheque from the band for £50,000 — money the band raised by charging pals and VIPs who have tried blagging guest-list slots on the tour.
As Gary received the top award — the O2 Silver Clef — on behalf of the band, he joked: “Don’t be playing Angels before I come up on stage! Here’s a cheque from the band from all those people who try to get away without paying for tickets to the show.”

Take That give Chris a backstage tour @ Wembley

Roll up, roll up: Take That bring all the fun of the Circus to Wembley
Take That cemented their standing as the biggest group in Britain last night with a spectacular performance of their Circus tour at Wembley Stadium.
With 75,000 fans waiting in anticipation for the concert of the year, Take That had a lot of expectations to live up to last night as they entered the massive venue.
But the crowd were clearly impressed as the four-piece pulled out all the stops to guarantee a thrilling, high-energy show from start to finish.
After kicking off the tour in Sunderland last month, it's the large lofty space of Europe's second biggest stadium Wembley that their extravaganza really comes into its own.
In contrast to Britney Spears's sexy outfits on her similarly named Circus tour, Take That aren't afraid to show their silly side as they don full clown make-up and funny outfits in a closer representation of an actual circus.
While the group concentrated many of their songs on their circus ring stage, they stunned the crowd by performed Circus album track The Garden at the top of a 30 foot model elephant.
As well as the usual singing, dancing and playing instruments, bandmembers Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Mark Owen show they have also acquired new skills specially for the tour.
The group balanced on long ladders next to giant storks and also managed to stay upright on unicycles.
Among their various costumes, the group appeared to have been inspired by The Beatles' Sgt Pepper days as they sang in military uniforms - a style also used by Coldplay.
As well performing tracks from their latest album The Circus, including Greatest Day and How Did It All Come To This?, they also sang their Nineties hits, including Pray, Back For Good and A Million Love Songs.
Ever grateful to their fans for making their comeback so successful, the gracious pop stars repeatedly thanked the crowd for their support.
Fans have shelled out £50million on tickets to see what for many will be the fulfilment of a teenage dream.
Take That's 'Circus' is the most successful comeback album of recent times, selling one million copies within 19 days of its release in December last year.
Since Michael Jackson's sudden death last week, Take That have reclaimed their record as the fastest-selling concert in Britain.
Despite huge anticipation over their tour, the group ruled out a longed-for reunion with former bandmate Robbie Williams.
Jason said there was 'no chance' they would get together for The Circus tour.
The 38-year-old told the Manchester Evening News: 'Unfortunately - and I mean unfortunately - there is no chance of it happening this time.'
He said that talks had taken place with Robbie, 35, but he'd decided it wasn't 'right' for him.
Jason said there were concerns how a reunion would be perceived by the public - as some could see it as a means of boosting Robbie's career.
Earlier this year, Robbie admitted he hoped to join the band: 'I'm in regular contact with them and it's looking more likely by the week. The lads all seem up for it. I think it would be fun.
'Let's see what happens, but my head's in the right place, so the timing could be right if Gary (Barlow) calls.
'I think it would be fun. It would be good.'
Formed in 1989, Take That sold more than 19million records between 1991 and 1996 before splitting up.
After a 2005 documentary and a new greatest hits album, they announced a 2006 reunion tour around the UK, called The Ultimate Tour.
Then in May that year, they revealed they were to record their first studio album in more than ten years, entitled Beautiful World. A tour of Europe and the UK followed.
