The former Oasis songwriter, who released his
third album "Who Built the Moon?" with his High Flying Birds
band last year, won Q Best Solo Artist and Q Outstanding
Contribution To Music at the awards which were established in
1990.
Singer-songwriter Paul Weller, who came to fame with The Jam in
the 1970s and last week played a career-spanning gig at London's
Royal Festival Hall, was named Best Act In The World Today.
Pop duo Let's Eat Grandma took the Q Best Album award for "I'm
All Ears" while Q Best Breakthrough Act went jointly to bands
Goat Girl and Idles. Both categories are among several voted for
by readers of the magazine.
Other honorees included Suede lead singer Brett Anderson, who
took the Q Lifetime Achievement Award, Chic co-founder Nile
Rodgers, who was given the Q Legend honor while the Q Icon went
to Echo & The Bunnymen frontman Ian McCulloch.
Indie band Wolf Alice, who last month won Britain's respected
Mercury Prize for the critically-acclaimed "Visions of a Life"
album, took Q Best Live Act.
