The 28-year-old, whose latest album "25" shot up the charts
around the world upon its release last year, received her third
Ivor Novello -- a music industry award recognizing British and
Irish song writing and composing.
However Adele, who has several Grammy and BRIT awards as well as
an Oscar to her name, did not make it to the glitzy luncheon
ceremony in London, where Blur's Damon Albarn picked up a
Lifetime Achievement award.
Other winners included British singer Jamie Lawson who took the
prize for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Wasn't
Expecting That", beating Ed Sheeran, who signed him to his
record label last year.
British James Bay won in the Most Performed Work category for
his popular hit "Hold Back The River" while the Album Award went
to "Darling Arithmetic" written by Conor O'Brien, who records
his music under the name Villagers.
